OVERVIEW |
This course will be presented over
two two-hour sessions. It will provide an overview of the latest
developments in advanced imaging and post-processing techniques
for pediatric MRI.
Specific topics will include:
- Fetal and neonatal imaging;
-
Pediatric neuroimaging & spectroscopy: from screening to
quantitative follow up;
- BOLD fMRI assessment of disease involvement, and investigation
of the connectivity by analyzing the resting state;
-
Cardiovascular imaging in children, i.e. with congenital heart
diseases;
- Body imaging, focusing on emerging diffusion and perfusion
techniques;
- Assessment of renal function in children; and
-
Pediatric PET-MR
|
|
|
|
EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES |
Upon completion of this session,
participants should be able to:
- Identify the main issues related
to basic clinical pediatric (neuro-) radiology and translational
imaging research in children;
- Explain the basic steps and
concepts associated with (a) cardiovascular MR planning and
imaging, and (b) assessment of body organ integrity or disease
(i.e., via perfusion and diffusion) in the pediatric population;
- Evaluate the progress in fetal
and neonatal imaging and to explain progress in advanced
neuroimaging;
- Demonstrate additional knowledge
of clinically adaptable pediatric imaging strategies; and
- Transfer and implement optimized
pediatric protocols in their clinical or research practice.
