点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. This annual 5-day continuing medical education course (June 18-22, 2007) took place at Kiawah Island Golf Resort, SC to provide physicians, physicists, engineers, and technologists an overview of the fundamentals of magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography; and the latest techniques and applications presented by clinical experts. Faculty members included these clinical radiologists: Linda Gray MD, Lynne Hurwitz MD, Tracy Jaffe MD, Charles Spritzer MD; physics experts in radiology: G. Allan Johnson PhD (Duke), and from Stanford University: Gary Glover PhD, Norbert Pelc ScD; and an MR expert from GE Healthcare, Thomas Foo PhD. The physics and technology of each MR and CT topic are discussed and then illustrated with examples from the clinical arena. We will continue to offer revised content, including pulmonary imaging, more clinical content, focus on advanced visualization methods, and case studies. Topics: -Basics of MRI -Fast imaging/angiography -Clinical imaging protocols -3D multi-detector CT -Functional imaging -Case studies in CT/MR angiography, musculoskeletal, and abdominal imagiing
