Overview
The sunrise course series will provide an overview of fundamental MRI sequences that are used routinely in the clinic and in research studies, focusing on their diagnostic utility and approaches towards acceleration. The session will cover quantitative MRI approaches in different anatomies as well as best practices for the analysis of the acquired images using segmentation and shape analysis tools.
Target Audience
Students, post-doctoral fellows, and researchers interested in acquisition, reconstruction, and analysis techniques for morphological and quantitative MRI.
Educational Objectives
As a result of attending this course, participants should be able to:
• Describe the contrasts, speed, and utility of sequences used in clinical musculoskeletal imaging;
• Describe the mechanisms of quantitative imaging markers and techniques used in joints, the muscle, and skeleton;
• List best practices in the acquisition and fitting for quantitative musculoskeletal MRI techniques; and
• Discuss common image analysis methods that generate insights from images using segmentation and shape analysis tools.
