MR & CT IMAGING: TECHNOLOGY & APPLICATIONS; CME COURSE

这个子项目是众多研究子项目之一

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 (scheduled for June 18-22, 2007) held at Kiawah Island Golf Resort, SC provides 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 include the following 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 fall under these categories: -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
