| 07:00 |  | Clinical Indications & MRI Markers of Acute Ischemic Stroke Binbin Sui Keywords: Neuro: Brain, Neuro: Cerebrovascular, Education Committee: Clinical MRI Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is one of the most serious diseases globally. MR imaging plays a key role in the diagnosis, treatment decision, and the outcome prediction in AIS. It’s essential to know the clinical indications and the MR markers in assessment of AIS. This presentation will include several parts focusing on the above aspects:
1. clinical indications of MRI in AIS (early diagnosis, evaluation of penumbra, treatment decision, outcome prediction, et al)
2. cases-based AIS assessment illustrating application values of MR techniques
3. important MR markers in AIS evaluation
4. some new developed MR techniques in AIS assessment |
| 07:30 |  | MRI Characterization of In Vitro Clots at 3T & 7T Su Lui Keywords: Neuro: Cerebrovascular, Physics & Engineering: High-Field MRI This talk provides a comprehensive overview of cutting-edge MRI for in vitro clot characterization at 3T and 7T, detailing the use of various MR sequences to provide high-resolution images that accurately locate and identify clots. It highlights the differential sensitivity of MRI to clot composition at varying magnetic strengths, revealing a balance between resolution and sensitivity. The clinical implications of these advancements are profound, particularly in diagnosing and treating embolisms and plaque, aiding in the decision-making for cerebrovascular disease. Looking ahead, the integration of new MRI technologies and multi-modal imaging promises to revolutionize personalized treatment approaches. |
