Course Description:
This course will provide an introduction to the pharmaceutical industry's perspective of the emerging role for MR and radiologists in drug development, the current state of the art in MR methods applied in drug development clinical trials, and the perspective of radiologists participating in those trials.
 
Educational Objectives:
Upon completion of this session, participants should be able to:
 Explain why the pharmaceutical industry is incorporating imaging into the process of drug development;
List at least two examples of how information provided from MR studies can impact the development of a drug;
