OVERVIEW |
|
This 1½-course
will focus on current/traditional (morphology-based) MR techniques
as well as novel functional methods for evaluation of tumor response
to treatment. Specific lectures will address in detail: |
 |
How to currently utilize CT and MRI to assess
treatment response in clinical setting; and |
|
|
The added value of diffusion and perfusion MRI in
evaluation of treatment response. |
|
|
|
|
EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES |
|
Upon completion
of this course participants should be able to: |
|
|
Describe and compare the current use CT and MRI
methods in evaluation of tumor response to
treatment, and recognize the pitfalls of
morphological imaging; and |
|
|
Explain the added value of functional MRI methods
such as diffusion weighted imaging and dynamic
contrast-enhanced imaging in evaluation of treatment
response. |
|
|
|
|
AUDIENCE
DESCRIPTION |
|
This
course is designed for radiologists, MR technologists and
clinical support scientists who wish to improve the use of
MRI in their practice, and understand how evolving MRI
techniques can aid in clinical problem solving in the body
with impact individualized patient care. |
