Edinburgh is delighted to be hosting the first BSNR Advanced Neuroimaging Masterclass.
This will be an opportunity for senior radiology trainees, and new or established consultants looking to increase their skills in advanced imaging, to interact with experts and gain practical insights in a number of modalities including perfusion imaging, DTI, MR spectroscopy, functional MRI and structural MRI quantification which are increasingly used in specialist clinical neuroradiology practice.
9 CPD credits will be available for attending this event.
Sessions will cover theoretical and practical aspects of acquisition, processing and analysis, with emphasis on applications in major disease areas.
Tuesday 26 September 13:30-17:50 Introduction to quantitative brain imaging techniques
Brief theoretical background and overview of established and emerging neuroimaging techniques: Perfusion MRI (DSC and ASL), diffusion imaging (inc DTI/tractography), functional MRI, proton MR spectroscopy, quantitative structural MRI, perfusion CT, PET/SPECT.
Specialist topical imaging sessions: foetal MRI, spine MRI
