| OVERVIEW |
|
Studies of small animal models of
human pathologies are critical for bridging research "from bench to
bedside". Small animal models are also essential for studying
biological processes. MRI is an outstanding non-invasive diagnostic
method for evaluating mouse models, including studies of anatomy,
morphology, physiology and metabolism, and imaging studies that
compliment genotyping and phenotyping. |
| |
| TARGET AUDIENCE |
|
Physicians, Imaging
scientists/engineers, medical physicists, technologists and other health professionals
with a developing need for utilizing MRI applications in cancer and
personalized care. |
| |
| EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of this course,
participants should be able to: |
- Select the most effective
MRI techniques for specific preclinical applications, including
small animal models of cancer;
- Evaluate the strengths
and limitations of preclinical MRI studies using specific MRI
technologies; and
- Apply new MRI hardware
and software to better assess small animal models of disease.
