BOLD fMRI Workshop (In-Person) [Sold Out]

IN-PERSON OPTION

This full day workshop provides didactic and hands-on experience with clinical fMRI, including task-based language and motor mapping, as well as an introduction to resting-state fMRI. The aim of the workshop is to equip attendees with the foundation to begin or enhance their own clinical fMRI program.

There will be hands-on experience with NordicNeuroLab and Prism software.

BOLD fMRI Workshop (Virtual)

VIRTUAL OPTION

Access to a livestream of the BOLD workshop, plus virtual demonstrations for the hands-on portion.

Perfusion Imaging Workshop (In-Person))

IN-PERSON OPTION

This full-day workshop will cover applications of perfusion imaging related to stroke and neuro-oncology. During the first half of the workshop, we will review the basic techniques of CT perfusion and MRI perfusion techniques such as dynamic susceptibility contrast and arterial spin labeling , as they pertain to acute ischemic stroke. We will then focus on how perfusion imaging can be utilized for detection and prognostication in stroke caused by vessel occlusions through case illustrations. Lastly, through a case-based review, we will touch on the utility of perfusion imaging with respect to stroke mimics.

In the second half of this workshop, we will do a deep dive into the application of perfusion imaging in neuro-oncology. Through expert-led lectures and an interactive hands-on session, attendees will gain practical experience in post-processing and interpretation of tumor perfusion imaging. This workshop will focus on how MR perfusion can aid in further classifying brain tumors, assessing treatment response, and differentiating neoplasms from their imaging mimics, providing critical insights for clinical decision-making.
