SMRT Session

06:00 - 08:00

Moderators: Mark Denham & Shawna Farquharson

Session Number: SMRT-01

Parent Session: SMRT: Applications I

Session Number: SMRT-01

Overview
This session will focus on new and emerging techniques such as 4D flow MRI, implementation of multi-slice and applications of Synthetic MR. There will be brief descriptions of the techniques, optimal parameters, how to troubleshoot artifacts and how to improve imaging, along with tip and tricks.

Target Audience
Radiographers, MR technologists, radiologists, clinicians, and scientists interested in new and emerging MR applications.

Educational Objectives
As a result of attending this course, participants should be able to:
- Review optimal imaging protocol for 4D flow MRI;
- Describe basic concept of CEST and its clinical applications; and
- Discuss the latest development in synthetic MR applications.

		4D Flow MRI Watch the Video Marci Messina
		CEST Imaging: Technology & Applications Watch the Video Weiqiang Dou The basic concept of CEST mechanism is first provided. Different types of CEST saturation schemes and readout methods as well as novel post-processing methods are then introduced with their respective pros and cons. With these techniques, novel clinical applications are extensively reviewed by focusing on specific chemical compounds of NH, NH2 and OH.
		Synthetic MR in Neuroradiology Watch the Video Alex Rovira Synthetic MRI is a multi dynamic multi echo sequence that provides quantitative T1, T2, proton density and myelin maps and a full set of clinical images to be generated from a single acquisition. This technique could be considered a time-efficient alternative to conventional MR imaging to visualize and quantify brain tissue properties, and has the potential to facilitate the clinical implementation of standardized and harmonized quantitative MRI measurements as a robust imaging biomarker for tissue characterization.
