WEEKEND EDUCATIONAL COURSE |
|
Cardiovascular MRI: Vascular Flow & Angiography |
|
SKILL LEVEL: Basic to Intermediate |
|
ORGANIZERS: Daniel B. Ennis, Ph.D. & Harald Kramer, M.D. |

|
|
| OVERVIEW |
|
This course highlights the
components of a routine vascular exam and provides an overview of
widely accepted and cutting-edge techniques in flow imaging and
magnetic resonance angiography. |
| |
| TARGET AUDIENCE |
|
Attendees, including medical
physicists, who have an interest in
evaluating cardiovascular disease with MRI in order to gain an
in-depth perspective on the technical foundations, clinical needs,
and research promises of both flow imaging and magnetic resonance
angiography techniques in order to improve their clinical practice.
|
| |
| EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of this course,
participants should be able to: |
- Develop a working
knowledge of a basic vascular exam and in its clinical and
research applications;
- Relate the clinical needs
to the accepted methods for flow imaging in abdominal disease;
and
- Evaluate the clinical
applications for MRA in congenital heart disease.
