ISMRM 23rd Annual Meeting & Exhibition • 30 May - 05 June 2015 • Toronto, Ontario, Canada
SUNRISE EDUCATIONAL COURSE
Neuroimaging: Dementia
SKILL LEVEL: Intermediate to Advanced
ORGANIZERS: Jonathan H. Gillard, M.D., FRCR, MBA & Howard A. Rowley, M.D.
Wednesday, 03 June 2015
 
OVERVIEW
The use of imaging in the diagnosis of dementias is complex, most volumetric changes happening later in the disease. This course will explain the main phenotypes of dementia and the contributions that MR can make in the diagnosis and monitoring of these complex diseases. This course will describe the spectrum of changes seen in dementias initially from a clinical perspective and then from an MR imaging perspective exploring the added value of multiparametric MR.
 
TARGET AUDIENCE
Physicists and clinicians involved in the evaluation and care of dementia.
 
EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES

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

  • Illustrate the spectrum of the dementias from a clinical and pathological perspective;
  • Diagnose different dementias based on conventional MR sequences; and
  • Assess the added value of multiparametric MRI in the setting of dementia.
