Molecular imaging of vascular inflammation and atherosclerosis: emerging biomarkers and clinical translation
  1. To understand the role of vascular inflammation in the development and progression of atherosclerosis.
  2. To recognise key emerging molecular biomarkers used in the imaging of vascular inflammation and atherosclerotic plaques.
  3. To evaluate the clinical applications and translational potential of molecular imaging techniques in cardiovascular disease management.
15 min
Theranostic approaches to vascular malformations: from diagnostic imaging to targeted therapy
  1. To understand the pathophysiology and classification of vascular malformations relevant to theranostic strategies.
  2. To identify appropriate diagnostic imaging modalities used to characterise vascular malformations for therapeutic planning.
  3. To explore targeted therapeutic options enabled by theranostic approaches, including image-guided and molecular-based treatments.
15 min
PET and hybrid imaging in large vessel vasculitis and vascular graft infections: clinical impact and future therapies
  1. To understand the principles and advantages of PET and hybrid imaging in detecting large vessel vasculitis and vascular graft infections.
  2. To assess the clinical impact of molecular imaging in diagnosis, disease monitoring, and treatment decision-making.
  3. To explore future therapeutic strategies guided by imaging biomarkers in inflammatory and infectious vascular diseases.
