Session Number: SMRT-03
Overview
This session will focus on the clinical applications of neuro advances in proton MR spectroscopy, imaging Parkinson's Disease, and multiparametric approaches to tumor classification. The first presentation will address the practical aspects of proton MRS including quality control measures such as voxel location and shimming. The implementation of standardized protocols for global and focal diseases for both clinical and research environments will also be discussed. The presentation following will focus on how neuromelanin-sensitive contrast is generated, and the use of neuromelanin-sensitive contrast in the development of diagnostic imaging markers of Parkinson’s disease. The final presentation will consider the recent updates of CNS classification of tumors by the World Health Organization and how imaging can assist in the differential diagnosis of tumors, with a focus on pediatric brain tumors.
Target Audience
Radiographers, MR technologists, radiologists, clinicians, and scientists interested in clinical applications of recent advances in MR technology as applied to neuro imaging.
Educational Objectives
As a result of attending this course, participants should be able to:
1. Explain the basic MRI protocol and utility of MRI for detecting neuromelanin and for diagnosing Parkinson’s Disease.
2. Give examples of clinical and research applications of proton MR spectroscopy.
3. Discuss how multiple types of imaging, particularly specific MRI sequences can help in classification and diagnosis of tumors, including molecular subgroups
