Expert speakers will cover:
« SWI and ultra-short T2;
« Imaging at high field;
« New contrast agents; and
« Prediction models in MRI imaging for clinical outcome.
 
EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of this course participants should be able to:
« Describe the use of SWI and ultrashort T2
« Compare the advantages and disadvantages of high field imaging;
« Describe new and developing contrast agents; and
« Explain how MRI findings can be used in prediction models for outcome.
