Course
Description:
This is the second of two courses on
in vivo MR spectroscopy. The advanced course will cover
elements of today's frontier methodology (13C and 23Na MR, high field
MRS, new ways of polarization transfer, fast CSI, RF pulses and pulse
trains) and advanced applications (NMR of body fluids, 23Na MR) of
medical MRS, together with an overview of today's methods and
applications in high resolution and high field MR spectroscopy,
including metabolomics.
|
Audience Description:
This course is designed for basic scientists, clinicians and experienced
MR spectroscopists interested in recent progress and advanced use of MR
spectroscopy, with intermediate to advanced levels in knowledge and use
of MRS. It will be of interest to experienced users of MRS, PhD
students using MRS, and clinicians with interest in specific
applications of MRS (e.g. metabolomics).

Educational
Objectives:
Upon completion of this session,
participants should be able to:
 Describe fundamental principles on which advanced
uses of MRS are based;
List state-of-the-art techniques developed for research
applications of MR spectroscopy;
Appraise potential advantages and
hurdles for the use of new ways of polarization transfer in in vivo
MRS;
Summarize recent biomedical research activities
involving in vivo MRS;
Summarize issues of present-day methodology and
applications of high resolution spectroscopy. |
