MEETING DESCRIPTION:
This symposium provides a practical, comprehensive review of the improtant aspects of clinical MRI/MRA of the head & spine. Physicians and technologists practicing neuroradiography utilizing MRI should expland their knowledge base and obtain additional information on safe and efficient scanning protocols. A special non-accredited segment of the program focuses on equipment comparisons and capabilites. Those registrants planning to purchase MRI equipment should find this Wednesday morning session particularly valuable as companies discuss their present capabilities and their plans for the future.

- Recognize the MRI appearance of normal anatomy and common pathology
- Incorporate protocols to effectively assess patients with CNS pathology
- Discuss the clinical benefits of functional imaging, perfusion, and diffusion imaging techniques
- Effectively assess stroke patients using MRI techniques
- Incorporate state of the art imaging protocols and techniques for assessment of the spine into clinical practice
