ABOUT THE MEETING

This symposium is structured to provide a comprehensive and practical review of clinical MRI. Topics include a mix of basic and advanced applications including body, vascular, neurological, and musculoskeletal techniques. Expert faculty share their advice regarding the latest applications, techniques and protocols used to improve diagnostic capabilities and expand the clinical applications of MRI.

TARGET AUDIENCE

This CME activity is primarily intended and designed to educate diagnostic imaging physicians who perform and interpret MRI examinations. It should also be useful in educating referring physicians who order MRI procedures, as well as radiologic technologists.

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
Attendees should, at the completion of this course, be able to:

• Discuss current protocols, regulations and imaging strategies pertaining to contrast enhanced MRA
• Apply state-of-the-art MRI/MRA protocols and techniques into clinical practice
• Identify MR applications for assessing cardiac morphology, function and pathology
• Apply imaging protocols and techniques to effectively assess the thoracic, aortic and peripheral vascular system to clinical practice
• Recognize the strengths and pitfalls of breast MRI
• Effectively assess neurological disease using MRI/MRA imaging techniques
• Expand clinical applications for body MRI
• More effectively utilize MRI to assess patients with musculoskeletal pathology

No special educational preparation is required for this CME activity
