SF 8b_2 - T1, T2, and PD: direct mapping or not?

19:39Marcel Jan Bertus Warntjes, Linkoping / SE

Learning Objectives
1. To present current methods for T1, T2, and PD mapping.
2. To understand how mathematical multicompartment analysis of relaxation times can describe complex biophysical models of tissue microstructure.
3. To underline how relaxation and PD mapping give novel information related to tissue microstructure at the subvoxel level.

SF 8b_3 - Bringing quantitative magnetic susceptibility mapping into the clinic

13:53Ludovic de Rochefort, Marseille / FR

Learning Objectives
1. To present current methods for quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM).
2. To understand which biophysical tissue properties can affects magnetic susceptibility, and to identify which tissues benefit from a QSM analysis.
3. To highlight the potentials of QSM to assess tissue function and disease, and to describe the actual limits of the technique as a standard tool for clinical diagnostic imaging.

SF 8b_4 - Promises and pitfalls of magnetisation transfer and diffusion

15:27Mara Cercignani, Brighton / UK

Learning Objectives
1. To present basic and advanced methods for magnetisation transfer (MT) and diffusion quantification.
2. To define the tissue microstructure and structural connectivity features that affect diffusion, and to give updates on novel quantitative diffusion metrics, their potential, and limits for clinical applications.
3. To understand MT modelling and feature extraction, and to describe the state of the art of MT quantification in clinical and pre-clinical studies.
