ABOUT THE MEETING

This symposium is designed to provide a cutting edge yet practical approach to the clinical applications of MRI and CT. Topics include neuroimaging, peripheral and cardiac angiography, body imaging, and musculoskeletal applications of CT and MR. Principles of image display and basic post processing will be demonstrated with interactive workstation presentations throughout the program. Emphasis of this meeting is on the practical clinical uses of new technologies. Faculty members have been selected for their teaching ability, as well as their expertise.

Workstation reviews will be presented on Vital Images Workstations utilizing advanced visualization software.
