MR & CT IMAGING: TECHNOLOGY & APPLICATIONS, CONTINUING MEDICAL EDUCATION COURSE

本子项目是利用由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源的众多研究子项目之一。子项目和研究者（PI）可能已经从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金，因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。列出的机构是中心的，不一定是研究者的机构。这个为期5天的年度继续医学教育课程（计划于2006年6月19日至23日举行）为医生、物理学家、工程师和技术人员提供了核磁共振成像和计算机断层扫描的基础概述，以及临床专家介绍的最新技术。教职员工包括6名来自杜克大学的教授：G. Allan Johnson博士，Linda Gray医学博士，H. Page McAdams医学博士，Erik Paulson医学博士，Jeffrey Petrella医学博士，Charles Spritzer医学博士；2名来自斯坦福大学的放射学物理学专家：Gary Glover博士，Norbert Pelc理学博士；以及来自GE医疗集团的教职员工Thomas Foo博士。讨论每个MR和CT主题的物理和技术，然后用临床领域的例子说明。今年的变化包括新的课程名称，以反映修订后的内容，杜克大学放射学的新教员具有肺部成像的专业知识，更多的临床内容，专注于先进的可视化方法，以及案例研究。主题可分为以下几类：- MRI基础-快速成像/血管造影-临床成像方案-3D多探测器CT -功能成像- CT/MR血管造影案例研究，结肠镜检查，心脏评估

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 19-23, 2006) provides physicians, physicists, engineers, and technologists an overview of the fundamentals of magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography, and the latest techniques presented by clinical experts. Faculty members include 6 from Duke University: G. Allan Johnson PhD, Linda Gray MD, H. Page McAdams MD, Erik Paulson MD, Jeffrey Petrella MD, Charles Spritzer MD, 2 physics experts in radiology from Stanford University: Gary Glover PhD, Norbert Pelc ScD, and a faculty member 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. Changes this year include a new course name to reflect revised content, a new Duke radiology faculty member with expertise in 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, colonography, cardiac assessment
