Overview
This four-day morning courses cover topics from acute ischemic stroke diagnosis to head and neck cancer imaging. The curriculum blends theoretical and practical insights on topics like clot characterization, cerebrovascular MR biomarkers, brain microstructure and MRI in neuropsychiatric disorders. The course aims to empower the participants with the expertise for informed diagnostics and treatment.
Target Audience
Clinicians, radiologists and MR researchers who wish to have in-depth understanding in head and neck MRI
Educational Objectives
As a result of attending this course, participants should be able to:
- Identify MRI techniques for diagnosing and managing head and neck conditions;
- Describe and identify MR biomarkers and imaging approaches applicable to cerebrovascular and oncological diseases; and
- Describe MRI methods for quantifying brain microstructure.
| 07:00 | | Measuring Cerebrovascular Reactivity (CVR) with MRI Peiying Liu Keywords: Cardiovascular: Hemodynamics, Neuro: Cerebrovascular, Neuro: Neurodegeneration Cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) denotes the ability of cerebral vessels to dilate or constrict in response to challenges or maneuvers. This physiological parameter is an important index of the brain’s vascular health, and provides vascular reserve information that is complementary to steady-state vascular parameters, such as cerebral blood flow (CBF) and cerebral blood volume (CBV). This presentation will introduce MRI methods for CVR mapping. It will review the methodological aspects of CVR mapping techniques, as well as their application in cerebrovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. |
