Educational Session: Multiparametric MR for Cancer
Skill Level: Basic to Intermediate
Organizers: Guanshu Liu, Ph.D. & Mark D. Pagel, Ph.D.
Thursday 12 May 2016

Overview
MRI of cancer now involves many different sequence and protocol options.
This session will discuss diffusion, perfusion and spectroscopy as
multiparametric options. In addition, it will discuss the potential of
combining multiple methods in one paradigm to improve tumour detection
and monitoring.
Target Audience
This will benefit Ph.D. and M.D.'s who are interested in novel MRI
methods for detection and monitoring of cancer.
Educational Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to:
- Understand the potential of
diffusion MRI for detection and monitoring of cancer;
- Understand the potential of
spectroscopy for detection and monitoring of cancer;
- Understand the potential of
perfusion MRI for detection and monitoring of cancer; and
- Understand the options for
using a multiparametric analysis to identify and monitor cancer.

Characterization of Tumors with DCE-MRI 
Wei Huang1
1Oregon Health & Science University
This lecture discusses the common methods for DCE-MRI
data analysis, the clinical applications of DCE-MRI in
cancer imaging, the major factors that cause
variabilities in estimated DCE-MRI metrics and affect
utility in cancer imaging, and the potential of the
Shutter-Speed DCE-MRI method for imaging tumor metabolic
activity.

Multiparametric Classification of Tumors
Julio Cárdenas-Rodríguez1
1Departments of Medical Imaging and
Biomedical Engineering, University of Arizona, Tucson,
AZ, United States
In this lecture I will describe the statistical
principles to use multiparametric MRI to classify
tumors. I will also discuss the most common mistakes
made during the training of predictive models based on
imaging data, and will propose best practices to
increase the predictive value of multiparametric MRI.
