WORKSHOP ON ADVANCES IN MUSCULOSKELETAL MRI

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 这次国际研讨会的主要目标是汇集不同领域的研究人员， 背景研究结缔组织的微观结构、生理学和功能， 共振成像技术，并提供一个论坛，这些不同的沟通 组 研讨会还将为与会者提供一个机会， 磁共振成像的现状及其在药物开发和疾病管理中的作用 肌肉骨骼系统。所涵盖的主题包括对以下技术的介绍： 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MRI和光谱学。 所涵盖的器官系统包括软骨，骨， 椎间盘和肌肉以及基质材料如胶原蛋白、蛋白聚糖和 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.
