abstract: Collaborate with industry leaders at the best pre-clinical medical imaging meeting in the world. + Hear high quality papers; + Present your research; + Network with other researchers. Hear the latest technical breakthroughs in X-ray CT at the SPIE Medical Imaging plenary session: Advances and New Directions in X-ray Computed Tomography (Monday 9 February)

abstract: The primary objective of this international workshop is to bring together researchers of varying backgrounds working on connective tissue microstructure, physiology and function using magnetic resonance imaging techniques, and to provide a forum for communication among these diverse groups. The workshop will also provide an opportunity for participants to get updated on the current status of MR imaging, recent advances of its role in drug development and management of diseases of the musculoskeletal system. Topics covered include an introduction to the state of the art of musculoskeletal imaging at multiple resolution scales, as well as pre-clinical and clinical applications, with particular emphasis on MRI and spectroscopy. Organ systems covered include cartilage, bone, inter-vertebral disc and muscle as well as matrix materials such as collagen, proteoglycans and synthetic and engineered biomaterials used for tissue repair.

The target audience includes radiologists, orthopaedists, rheumatologists, endocrinologists, biochemists, cell biologists, physiologists, bioengineers, and imaging scientists from a variety of disciplines in academia, pharmaceutical industry and government involved in musculoskeletal research.

abstract: The target audience for this program is pediatric, musculoskeletal, and general radiologists as well as pediatric sports medicine and orthopedic specialists.

abstract: This three-day weekend course (Friday afternoon - Sunday afternoon) is limited to cardiac MRI. It includes didactic lectures and an opportunity for participants to review cardiac MRI clinical cases from an extensive library collection. Instruction will be provided on workstations showing how to analyze cardiac. Finally, participants will have the opportunity to scan normal volunteers and choose from a number of Cardiac MRI protocols.
