OVERVIEW |
|
This 4-hour course will assess
mechanisms of contrast, organization of tissue, and its influence on
imaging parameters. It will also provide a discussion of recently
promoted sequences, most notably T1rho and UTE. Both radiologists
and basic scientists will provide up-to-date knowledge of these
fast-developing research topics. |

|
EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES |
Upon completion of this course
participants should be able to:
- Describe contrast mechanisms in
MSK imaging, most notably in imaging of articular cartilage;
- Describe the physics of advanced
MR sequences;
- Identify the most suitable new
MR sequences for four important indications;
- Implement current MR protocols
for daily practice and be aware of the most useful indications
for these techniques.
