Overview
This session will cover the latest advancements and techniques in contrast and non-contrast perfusion imaging, including 4D flow. It aims to provide insights into clinical applications and research developments in perfusion imaging throughout the body.

Target Audience
Medical physicists, radiologists and other healthcare professionals interested in perfusion.

Educational Objectives
As a result of attending this course, participants should be able to:
• Describe the principles and techniques of contrast and non-contrast perfusion imaging;
• Identify clinical applications and benefits of 4D flow in perfusion imaging; and
• Evaluate recent research findings and their implications for clinical practice.

07:00		Kidney Useful & Not So Useful View Presentation Video Ananth Madhuranthakam Impact: Renal perfusion imaging, using dynamic contrast-enhanced and arterial spin labeling MRI, noninvasively assesses kidney function by detecting regional blood flow alterations, aiding early diagnosis and therapeutic monitoring in renal diseases and tumors.
07:15		Lung: Where Do We Stand? Jens Vogel-Claussen Impact: To learn about currently available MRI lung perfusion techniques, their clinical use and translational status: Dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI, arterial spin labeling (ASL), MRI Fourier decomposition based methods, hyperpolarized 129Xe capillary blood measures
07:30		Special Topics in Pediatrics and Pregnancy: 4D flow Alex Barker Impact: The clinical applications and benefits of pediatric and fetal 4D flow will be discussed, with emphasis on assessing congenital heart disease.
07:45		Liver: Ready for Clinic View Presentation Video Kristina Ringe Impact: Perfusion imaging in the liver remains challenging. Potential clinical applications of DCE-MRI include the evaluation of diffuse liver disease and focal liver lesions.
