Program Summary
Through comprehensive case study reviews and panel discussions, imaging experts in the field of neuroradiology will provide insights into the effective implementation of contrast-enhanced perfusion MRI protocols and functional imaging techniques designed to improve visualization of the anatomy and physiology.
A review of a recently revised ACR guidance document will empower radiologists when performing perfusion MRI applications and may improve both their clinical confidence and their consultative roles when communicating with the patient’s care team.
Educational Objectives
