ISMRM 21st Annual Meeting & Exhibition ○ 20-26 April 2013 ○ Salt Lake City, Utah, USA
SUNRISE EDUCATIONAL COURSE
MRS
SKILL LEVEL: Intermediate to Advanced
ORGANIZERS: Peter B. Barker, D.Phil. & Robert E. Lenkinski, Ph.D.
 
OVERVIEW
This three-hour course will be focused on the methodology of in vivo MRS its applications in studying metabolism in humans and animal models. The primary goal of the course is to demonstrate the potential of these MR spectroscopic techniques in assessing tissue metabolism non-invasively.
 
TARGET AUDIENCE
The aim of this course to familiarize the attendees with the basic principles of MRS and the application of MRS to model systems and clinical studies. The course is designed both for basic scientists and clinicians interested in an overview of MRS.
 
EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES

Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to:

  • Understand the basics of in vivo MRS;
  • Gain familiarity with applications of MRS to study brain metabolism;
  • Recognize the value of P-31 MRS for studies of muscle bioenergetics; and
  • Appreciate the unique metabolic information available through C-13 studies of the human brain.
