| Overview This two-hour course focuses on the new MRI pulse sequences for evaluation of disease in the body. A comprehensive review of new technical developments for torso imaging will be presented with emphasis on ultrashort TE imaging of the chest and abdomen and ultrafast dynamic contrast enhanced imaging of the torso. Optimized diffusion-weighted imaging of the body with new small field-of-view techniques will be discussed. A comprehensive review of parallel imaging techniques for body MRI applications will be presented. Target Audience This course is aimed at radiologists, imaging scientists and MR technologists who wish to review the state-of-art MRI techniques for body MRI and their implementation into routine clinical practice. Educational Objectives As a result of attending this course, participants should be able to: • Implement new MRI sequences for body imaging; • Convey the utility of new motion-insensitive, high-temporal resolution acquisition for dynamic contrast enhanced imaging of the abdomen/pelvis; and • Illustrate the impact of new hardware development, coil design, and reconstruction algorithms in highly accelerated MRI acquisitions of the body. |
