| OVERVIEW |
|
This educational session is
designed to provide a comprehensive overview of cellular and
molecular MR imaging. This course incorporates the fundamentals of
relaxation and CEST, and MRI methods that quantify these properties;
multimodal imaging including PET-MR and optical-MR imaging; cell
biology applications, 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. A session on the fundamentals and emerging
concepts in hyperpolarization including pulse sequence design and
molecular imaging applications are also included. |
| |
| TARGET AUDIENCE |
|
Medical physicists and M.D. and Ph.D. researchers with a
specialty or developing need to improve their knowledge in cellular
and molecular imaging concepts and applications. |
| |
| EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of this course,
participants should be able to: |
- Assess fundamental
concepts and methods and future trends in the diverse field of
cellular and molecular imaging;
- Integrate effective
practices of molecular imaging; and
- Evaluate challenges in
molecular imaging that may inspire new research studies and
clinical translational activities.
