Advanced MRI of prostate cancer
M. Chen; Beijing/CN
Learning Objectives:
1. To learn about the clinical application of advanced MR technology and the new techniques such as HR
(high resolution) images, DEC-MRI, diffusion weighted images, MR spectroscopy used to image the
prostate gland.
2. To become familiar with the anatomy, function, and pathology of the prostate.
3. To understand the role the current MR technology can play in the identifi cation, localization and the
staging of the prostate cancer; and the ability of MRI to contribute to diagnosis, staging and treatment
planning of prostate cancer.

fMRI study for reorganisation of brain motor cortex function
X. Feng, H.-Q. Liu; Shanghai/CN
Learning Objectives:
1. To learn about the reorganisation of cerebral cortex happens dynamically after nerve transfer.
2. To understand that fMRI is a valuable tool for the judgment of the recovery with peripheral nerve injury.

Reorganisation of speech production of postoperative laryngeal carcinoma patients: A follow-up fMRI
study
J.-Z. Yin, Y.-G. Xue, P. Lin, J. Qi; Tianjin/CN
Learning Objectives:
1. To observe the characteristics of linguistic cortex in normal Chinese people by ER-fMRI, whether there is
a left or right predominance? Do their age and sex have effect on the language processing?
2. To identify the changes of linguistic cortex in patients who had undergone total resection of
laryngocarcinoma during their pronunciation rebuilding process.
