Fast & Furious: The New Era of Rapid Imaging |
ORGANIZERS: Roland Bammer, Ph.D., Douglas C. Noll, Ph.D., Daniel K. Sodickson, M.D., Ph.D. & Bachir Taouli, M.D. |

SKILL LEVEL: All Levels |
Tuesday - Friday, 10-13 May 2011 |

OVERVIEW |
This four-hour
course will explore the current and evolving state of the art in
rapid imaging. Framed as an extended conversation between clinicians
and basic scientists, each of the four sessions will feature
interlinked talks on a particular body area or application cluster:
day 1 – fast cardiovascular imaging, day 2 – fast body imaging, day
3 – fast neuroimaging and day 4 – fast fetal/neonatal imaging. For
each area, a clinician will describe current practices and identify
particular unsolved problems and unmet needs which can be addressed
by increasing imaging speed. A basic scientist will then respond to
this list of needs by describing current and emerging rapid imaging
techniques and technologies, including such topics as compressed
sensing, highly parallel reception, parallel transmission and
moving-table imaging. Some talks will be sequential, and others
interleaved to promote conversation and interaction. |
|
EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES |
Upon completion
of this course participants should be able to: |
«
List key clinical needs for rapid imaging in cardiovascular,
body, neurological and fetal/neonatal applications;
«
Describe current and emerging rapid imaging techniques, such
as highly parallel imaging and compressed sensing;
«
Explain the appropriate use of rapid imaging techniques in
modern clinical practice; and
«
Identify areas in which further improvements in imaging
speed and efficiency would be required to address current
unsolved problems in research and clinical practice. |
