Thursday, 21 June 2018
S03  07:00 - 07:50 Moderators:  Guanshu Liu, Damian Tyler

Skill Level: Basic to Intermediate
Session Number: S-Th-05

Overview
This sunrise will comprise four courses. Each of them will be dedicated to preclinical and followed by clinical application of molecular imaging in following areas: cancer, cardiovascular, neuro, and body imaging.

Target Audience
Physicians, imaging scientists/engineers, technologists, and other health professionals who are interested in performing MR molecular imaging in particular disease areas.

Educational Objectives
As a result of attending this course, participants should be able to:
-Describe current technical developments of molecular imaging in various diseases of the body;
-Explain how to conduct state of the art preclinical studies with novel imaging approaches and tracers; and
-Discuss how to translate molecular imaging protocols to clinical trials.
 

 

 
07:00
 		   Recent Technical Developments of Molecular Imaging for Body Imaging
Kevin Bennett
This presentation will provide an overview of current and emerging molecular imaging tools for clinical and basic scientific applications.

 
07:25
 		   Clinical Translation & Applications of Molecular MRI in Body Imaging
Tone Bathen
The global burden of cancer continues to increase, largely because of the aging and growth of the world population. Prostate cancer is the 2nd most common cancer among men and constitutes a substantial health care problem. Given the huge number of affected individuals, current challenges in prostate cancer include imaging methods for improved diagnosis and risk stratification, assessment of response to therapy, and identification of early recurrence. This talk will give a brief description of recent advances in molecular imaging techniques such as MRSI and PET/MRI, and how these techniques in combination with Big Data strategies and machine learning may contribute to the future management of prostate cancer.
