| OVERVIEW |
|
This four one-hour sessions
of this course will offer speakers who are basic
scientists engaged in tissue engineering studies,
primarily using MR imaging and spectroscopy approaches.
Presentations will be followed by discussion periods. |
|
Principal topics: |
- Brief overview of the
field of tissue engineering.
- Opportunities in tissue
engineering related to the capabilities of MR.
- Current specific
applications of MR imaging and spectroscopy to the
design and evaluation of engineered tissue constructs.
This includes studies of tissue matrix, angiogenesis,
and metabolism. Specific organs to be discussed may
include cartilage, bone, liver, pancreas, bladder, and
others.
|
| Our overall goal will be to
identify potential research opportunities in tissue
engineering in which MR may play an important role and to
encourage such further efforts. |
| |
| EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
|
Upon completion of this
case based session, participants should be able to:
- Define what is meant by tissue engineering;
- Appreciate the current status of the field of
tissue engineering, including several of the
products currently on the market;
- Recognize some of the current approaches to
development of tissue engineered constructs;
- Describe the role of MR in certain current
tissue engineering studies; and
- Identify further opportunities for application
of MR to problems in tissue engineering.
