Expert speakers will cover:
 « SWI and ultra-short T2;
 « Imaging at high field;
 « New contrast agents; and
 « Prediction models in MRI imaging for clinical outcome.
 
EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of this course participants should be able to:
« Describe the use of SWI and ultrashort T2
 « Compare the advantages and disadvantages of high field imaging;
