SKILL LEVEL: Intermediate
ORGANIZER: Kevin M. Bennett, Ph.D. & Robia G. Pautler, Ph.D.
TARGET AUDIENCE
Non-Biologists interested in an introduction to non-MRI methodologies that can be used to validate pre-clinical MRI data. The goal of this course is to provide non-Biologists with an introduction to non-MRI methodologies that can be used to validate pre-clinical MRI data.
Tuesday, 23 April 2013
OVERVIEW
An Introduction to validating pre-clinical MRI data with histology.
EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to:
Apply the principles of multiple molecular biology and histological methodologies; and Differentiate which of the molecular biology and histological methodologies may be appropriate to validate different pre-clinical MRI datasets.
