| OVERVIEW |
|
The clinical importance of MR
techniques that provide critical physiologic and metabolic
information for cancer diagnosis and evaluation is rapidly growing.
The goal of this educational session is to gain an understanding of
the added value, advantages, and disadvantages provided by DCA, ASL,
MRS, and DWI for imaging the cancer patient. |
| |
| TARGET AUDIENCE |
|
This session is designed to
appeal to both clinicians interested in extending their cancer
imaging protocols and MR physicists interested in focusing their
research on clinical problems. |
| |
| EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
As a result of attending this
course, participants should be able to: |
- Assess the role of
dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) in imaging the cancer
patient;
- Assess the role of
arterial spin labeling (ASL) in imaging the cancer patient;
- Assess the role of
magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) in imaging the cancer
patient;
- Assess the role of
diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in imaging the cancer patient;
and
- Differentiate the
strengths and weaknesses of DCE-MRI, ASL, MRS, and DWI for
imaging the cancer patient, and select the appropriate
technique.
