EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES |
|
Upon completion
of this course participants should be able to: |
|
|
Describe how relaxation time measurements are made
in MSK MRI, and sources of error; |
|
|
Assess methods for segmentation of cartilage and
other MSK structures; and |
|
|
Describe advanced methods of cartilage MRI and
post-processing. |
|
