Grundlegende Einführung in fortgeschrittene MRT und Analysetechniken für Neuro-Anwendungen

What it is about

You will receive a fundamental, interactive introduction to advanced MRI and MR spectroscopy methods with a focus on neuro-applicable examples. By the end you will be able to explain the most important principles of quantitative, structural and physiological MRI methods as well as basic analysis techniques for investigating connectivity and metabolism and to recognize suitable applications along with their limitations.

What you will be able to do

• Understand and explain limitations of conventional (f)MRI
• Understand and explain applications of quantitative and physiological imaging as well as MR spectroscopy
• Understand and explain principles for mapping physical tissue parameters (relaxation rates, susceptibility, diffusion)
• Understand and explain principles of physiology-sensitive MRI methods (flow, perfusion, oxygenation, metabolism)
• Understand and explain principles of calibrated fMRI
• Understand and explain principles of advanced connectivity analysis methods
