| OVERVIEW |
| This educational session is
designed to provide a comprehensive overview of cellular and
molecular MRI imaging. This course incorporates some basics on
relaxation theory, preparation of common molecular imaging agents,
and detection and targeting of specific physiologic processes. The
breadth of current and future applications for cellular and
molecular imaging in medicine will also be presented. This course
will also provide an overview on current challenges in the field
including relevant molecular imaging agent toxicity, limits to
detection, and regulatory challenges. |
| |
| TARGET AUDIENCE |
| M.D. and Ph.D. researchers
with an interest in molecular imaging concepts, applications and
clinical translation. |
| |
| EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of this course,
participants should be able to: |
- Describe the historical
milestones that have led to the current status of the field;
- Compare the advantages
and disadvantages for each class of MR contrast agents;
- Describe the
pharmacokinetic profiles of targeted contrast agents;
- Recognize toxicity
profiles and how to circumvent these;
- Explain how nanoparticles
can be engineered in different ways;
- Describe the basic
physical principles of different forms of magnetism; and
- List factors that are
important for the safety and clinical approval of molecular
imaging.
