Advanced Imaging Course

The Advanced Imaging Course will cover the following topics:

Protocol Customization
Shimming Strategies
Diffusion Tensor Imaging
Localized Spectroscopy
Chemical Shift Imaging
Abdominal Imaging and Respiratory Triggering
Cardiac Imaging
Angiography
Dynamic Imaging
Relaxometry
Advanced Image Processing

You will learn how to customize protocols and modules in order to obtain different image contrasts, utilize parallel imaging techniques and change parameters with regard to image quality, scan time, and resolution.

The course will also cover advanced image processing using, e.g., the image sequence analysis tool. Together with an automated image analysis, the evaluation of scan series can be facilitated. Parameter image generation from relaxometry studies and corresponding image evaluation will be presented.

During exercise courses, workstations and spectrometers will be provided, so that the participants – in groups – may repeat parts of the lessons on a BioSpec or PharmaScan system.

No method or pulse programming is covered.

Maximum number of participants is 12.

Please be aware that the Advanced Imaging Course is aimed at users who at least have routine ParaVision 5.0 knowledge.
