Neurology: MRI Neuroimaging
10/02/2025 - 14/02/2025 Bern, Switzerland
Neurology: MRI Neuroimaging
Course Overview
This course provides a comprehensive exploration of advanced neuroimaging techniques and interpretation. Key topics include examination techniques such as signal-to-noise optimization, spin echo, gradient echo, and diffusion-weighted imaging. Participants will learn to analyze patterns and lesion distributions, including intra- and extraaxial brain neoplasms, inflammatory diseases, and metabolic-toxic disorders. The course also covers vascular lesions, trauma, hemorrhage, anomalies, and malformations affecting the brain and spinal cord. Sessions on standardized reading, brain spectroscopy, and artifact management enhance diagnostic accuracy. Participants will engage in individual case studies and group discussions to apply knowledge practically. The program concludes with reviews of learning objectives and collaborative discussions to solidify key concepts.
