CONFERENCE ON MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING OF BLOOD FLOW

许多疾病会直接或间接影响血液流动，导致 重要的公共卫生问题，如中风和心肌梗塞。 已经需要更好的方法来非侵入性地评估血液 流动，既可以帮助诊断，也可以帮助指导治疗。 磁共振成像(MRI)对血流的敏感性提供了 一种强大的非侵入性血流研究方法的潜力。 这导致了对基本技术的研究活动不断增加， 以及MRI血流研究的临床应用。虽然令人印象深刻 已经取得了进展，现在仍在继续取得进展，仍然存在 技术问题限制了磁共振成像在临床上的广泛应用。 血液流动研究。第一个大型科学会议/研讨会致力于 对磁共振血流成像及其成像技术发展现状的探讨 未来发展展望将于3月13日在费城举行-- 1989年14日，由美国核磁共振学会赞助 医学。这项赠款申请寻求资金，以承销 出版本次会议的会议记录，以便散发 提出的材料并促进了在这一重要领域的进一步研究 区域。

Many diseases can directly or indirectly affect blood flow, leading to such important public health problems as stroke and myocardial infarction. There has been a need for better methods to noninvasively assess blood flow, both as an aid to diagnosis and to help guide therapy. The sensitivity of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to blood flow offers the potential of a powerful method for the noninvasive study of blood flow. This has led to increasing research activity on the basic techniques for, and clinical applications of MRI studies of blood flow. While impressive progress has been, and is continuing to be made, there are still remaining technical problems have limited the widespread clinical application of MRI blood flow studies. The first major scientific meeting/workshop dedicated to the discussion of the state-of-the-art of MRI of blood flow and its prospects for future development will be held in Philadelphia on March 13- 14, 1989, under the auspices of the Society of Magnetic Resonance in Medicine. This grant application seeks funding to underwrite the publication of the proceedings of this conference, in order to disseminate the material presented and stimulate further research in this important area.
