CME Course: Advanced Neuroimaging Techniques Posted By: David Kennedy - Sep 2, 2009Tool/Resource: Conferences, Workshops and Meetings October 19‑21, 2009 The Fairmont Copley Plaza, Boston, Massachusetts Offered by: Massachusetts General Hospital Department of Radiology Course Directors: P. Ellen Grant, MD, A. Gregory Sorensen, MD, and Bruce Rosen, MD, PhD The advanced neuroimaging techniques that will be discussed in this course include functional MRI, Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI), Diffusion Spectrum Imaging (DSI), Dynamic Susceptibility Contrast (DSC) Perfusion Imaging, Arterial Spin Labeling (ASL), MR Spectroscopy and Positron Emission Tomography (PET). Cutting edge developments that are shaping the direction of brain science such as Magentoencephalography (MEG), Optical Imaging, Molecular Imaging and Multimodality imaging will also be presented. Presentations on how imaging techniques help in understanding the biological basis of disease and in drug discovery are included. This course is suitable for radiologists, neurologists, psychiatrists or anyone interested in the role imaging science plays in understanding the brain. OBJECTIVE At the conclusion of the course, participants will: * Gain a better understanding of the theory, techniques, analysis tools and clinical applications of diffusion imaging, perfusion imaging and fMRI * Understand the potential of new imaging techniques such as MEG, optical imaging, molecular imaging and multimodality imaging CONTACT INFORMATION Contact Stacey Ladieu at sladieu@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu.
