OVERVIEW |
|
This two-hour course
will cover the design and implementation of multi-center MR
neuroimaging studies. The importance of scanner QA and parameter
selection will be discussed, as will the lessons learned from
multi-center structural, diffusion tensor, functional and
perfusion studies. |

|
EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES |
Upon completion of this course
participants should be able to:
-
Recognize the challenges associated with performing a multi-site
MRI experiment, including issues associated with QA, advanced
planning, data management, and training;
- Explain how existing multi-center MRI experiments were designed
and implemented;
- Describe the unique challenges associated with executing
multi-center structural, diffusion tensor, functional, and
perfusion imaging experiments; and
- Implement a multi-center study using best practices.
