Overview
This session will discuss cancer MR imaging from different perspectives, which include imaging for diagnosis, therapy, and novel cancer imaging research that leads to the future.

Target Audience
Radiographers, MR technologists, radiologists, clinicians, and scientists interested in learning about the clinical translation of technological advances in MRI for cancer imaging.

Educational Objectives
As a result of attending this course, participants should be able to:
- Describe MR Linac/image-guided therapy;
- Identify techniques for rectal cancer imaging; and
- Explain HyperPolarizer research & clinical dreams.
 
14:00   MR Linac/Image-Guided Therapy Caroline Chung
14:30   Rectal Cancer Imaging Kartik Jhaveri
15:00   Hyperpolarizer Research & Clinical Dreams James Bankson

Keywords: Contrast mechanisms: Hyperpolarized MR (Non-Gas), Contrast mechanisms: Hyperpolarization, Cross-organ: Cancer

 Hyperpolarized (HP) imaging agents can produce signal that is five orders of magnitude stronger compared to normal thermal equilibrium, enabling rapid measurement of physiological characteristics that were previously inaccessible by MRI.  The most widely studied HP imaging agent is [1-13C]-pyruvate which can be used to characterize tumor metabolism.  HP [1-13C]-pyruvate MRI requires the use of coils, sequences, and workflow that are similar to traditional MRI but modified to accommodate the unique characteristics of HP MRI.  Recent patient studies demonstrate continuing technical improvements as well as strong potential for this technology to provide new information to guide improved patient care.
