这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 这次国际研讨会的主要目的是将不同领域的研究人员聚集在一起。 结缔组织微结构、生理和功能的磁学研究背景 磁共振成像技术，并为这些不同的人提供一个交流的论坛 组。研讨会还将为与会者提供一个机会，让他们了解当前 磁共振成像的现状及其在药物开发和疾病治疗中的作用研究进展 肌肉骨骼系统。涵盖的主题包括对技术水平的介绍 多分辨率尺度的肌肉骨骼成像，以及临床前和临床应用， 特别强调核磁共振和光谱学。覆盖的器官系统包括软骨、骨、 间盘和肌肉以及基质材料，如胶原、蛋白多糖和 用于组织修复的合成和工程生物材料。

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. The primary objective of this international workshop is to bring together researchers of varying backgrounds working on connective tissue microstructure, physiology and function using magnetic resonance imaging techniques, and to provide a forum for communication among these diverse groups. The workshop will also provide an opportunity for participants to get updated on the current status of MR imaging, recent advances of its role in drug development and management of diseases of the musculoskeletal system. Topics covered include an introduction to the state of the art of musculoskeletal imaging at multiple resolution scales, as well as pre-clinical and clinical applications, with particular emphasis on MRI and spectroscopy. Organ systems covered include cartilage, bone, inter-vertebral disc and muscle as well as matrix materials such as collagen, proteoglycans and synthetic and engineered biomaterials used for tissue repair.
