OVERVIEW |
This educational session is
designed to provide a comprehensive overview of cellular and
molecular MRI imaging. This course incorporates some basics on
relaxation theory, preparation of common cellular and molecular
imaging agents, and detection and targeting of specific physiologic
processes. The breadth of current and future applications for
cellular and molecular imaging in medicine will also be presented. A
session on the fundamentals and emergent concepts in
hyperpolarization including agent preparation, pulse sequence
design, and metabolic and emergent applications is also included. |
|
TARGET AUDIENCE |
M.D. and Ph.D. researchers with an
interest in cellular and molecular imaging concepts and
applications.
|
|
EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
As a result of attending this
course, participants should be able to: |
- Assess fundamental
concepts and methods and future trends in the diverse field of
cellular and molecular imaging;
- Integrate effective
practices of molecular imaging; and
- Evaluate challenges in
molecular imaging that may inspire new research studies and
clinical translational activities.
