Overview
This sunrise will comprise four courses. Each of them will dedicated for 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 neurodenenerative disease;
-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.
