Advanced
Diffusion Acquisition |
| SKILL LEVEL:
Advanced |

| OVERVIEW |
|
This course will provide an
overview of recent state-of-the-art developments in the acquisition
methods for diffusion-weighted MRI for DTI and beyond. In
particular, the lectures will focus on leading-edge methods for
improving the spatial fidelity, spatial resolution (multishot, 3D,
and reduced FOV) and speed (multiband and compressed sensing) of
diffusion-weighted imaging and novel mechanisms (double pulsed field
gradient and oscillating gradient) of diffusion-weighting. |
| |
| TARGET AUDIENCE |
|
Scientists and Researchers who
are familiar with basic diffusion MRI methodology and want to learn
about state-of-the-art technical developments. |
| |
| EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
As a result of attending this
course, participants should be able to: |
- Understand potential
options for improved acquisition of diffusion-weighted MRI;
- Develop strategies for
improved acquisition of diffusion-weighted MRI;
- Compare methods for
making diffusion-weighted MRI faster and higher spatial
resolution;
- Develop the understanding
to reduce artifacts from susceptibility and eddy currents; and
- Assess new
diffusion-weighted imaging methodologies including double wave
encoding and oscillating gradient acquisitions.
