SUNRISE EDUCATIONAL COURSE

Quantitative Musculoskeletal Imaging: Structure & Function

SKILL LEVEL: Advanced

ORGANIZERS: Garry E. Gold, M.D., Richard Kijowski, M.D., William B. Morrison, M.D., & Ravinder R. Regatte, Ph.D.

Wednesday, 03 June 2015

OVERVIEW

This series of sunrise sessions will address issues related to bone, muscle and cartilage structure as well as their interfaces. Lecturers will discuss basic physics and clinical applications. The lectures will review and discuss the technical aspects including basic physics, implementation of pulse sequence and potential clinical applications of quantitative MRI methods.

TARGET AUDIENCE

Radiologists and physicists who perform clinical imaging and/or research on muscle structure, function and diseases using advanced techniques.

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES

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

Technical and clinical applications of skeletal muscle structure;
Identify the structural and biochemical alterations with regard to muscle function to muscle diseases;
Recognize the role of advanced muscle imaging for assessment of muscle function; and
Implement and evaluate muscle structure, function, and disease using advanced imaging techniques.
