ISMRM 21st Annual Meeting & Exhibition ○ 20-26 April 2013 ○ Salt Lake City, Utah, USA
WEEKEND EDUCATIONAL COURSE
Advanced Neuroimaging 2: Across the Lifespan
SKILL LEVEL: Basic to Intermediate
ORGANIZERS: Nadine J. Girard, M.D. & Rakesh K. Gupta, M.D.
Sunday, 21 April 2013
09:00-17:15
OVERVIEW
This one-day course focuses on magnetic resonance imaging of the brain across the life span. The lectures are focused first on the perinatal period with illustrations of the most common diseases at this period of time (hypoxia-ischemia and seizures), followed by the impact of MRI in specific pediatric diseases (infections, inflammatory and metabolic disorders). Adult neuroimaging focuses on the problematic of intracranial pressure, and finally on neuroimaging in elderly beyond Alzheimer’s disease. The course is patient focused and considers the impact of MRI in patient care and in the understanding of brain pathologies.
TARGET AUDIENCE
MD's and PhD's who are interested in the developing and aging brain and their specific diseases.
EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to:
Describe the normal developmental anatomy; Recognize and describe the imaging features of the primary causes of brain damage in the neonatal period; Recognize and describe the imaging features of the most frequent CNS infections, inflammation and demyelination in pediatrics; Understand the needs of intracranial pressure monitoring in brain diseases; Describe and interpret the imaging modalities to assess intracranial pressure and its variations; and Recognize and interpret the brain pathologies of the aging brain with their differential diagnosis beyond dementia.
