Imaging Bone Architecture
& Composition |
| SKILL LEVEL:
Intermediate to Advanced |
| ORGANIZERS: Richard
Kijowski, M.D. & William B. Morrison, M.D. |

|
| OVERVIEW |
|
Various aspects of imaging bone
cortex, trabecular organization, as well as marrow cellular and
lipid components will be will be presented by a panel of experts,
with lectures ranging from sequence development to clinical
applications. It is intended to “bridge the gap” between laboratory
research and patient care. Following didactic lectures a “hot topic”
representing a relevant abstract will be presented by the author,
with subsequent discussion by the panel. |
| |
| TARGET AUDIENCE |
|
This course is directed to
clinicians interested in musculoskeletal MRI as well as researchers
seeking to enhance their knowledge of clinical aspects and
applications of bone structure and composition. |
| |
| EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of this course,
participants should be able to: |
- Apply various MRI
techniques to assess bone architecture and composition in
clinical practice and research studies;
- Identify advantages and
disadvantages of different MRI methods to assess the rapidly
relaxing components and multiple water compartments of bone; and
- Develop imaging
strategies to evaluate trabecular micro-structure and bone
marrow composition using ultra-high resolution MRI and MR
spectroscopy.
