New frontiers in imaging and intervention (Introduction)
M.F. Reiser; Munich/DE
Session Objectives:
1. To learn about new developments in CT-technology, which aim at an ever increasing speed and
anatomical coverage so that new clinical applications become possible.
2. To understand, how sensitivity in MRI can be improved by employing hyperpolarized 13C compounds and
how real time MI of brain activity can be used for therapeutic interventions.
3. To learn about the integration of morphological, functional and molecular imaging in molecular
therapeutics and image guided therapy.
4. To learn about new directions in interventional radiology which include the endovascular treatment of
carotid artery disease, aortic dissections and aneurysms as well as new types of oncologic intervention.
A-366 14:05
New frontiers in CT imaging
W.A. Kalender; Erlangen/DE
Learning Objectives:
1. To know the state-of-the-art in modern multi-slice spiral CT.
2. To learn about the performance levels and dose aspects of CT.
3. To understand the potential of fl at detector technology.
4. To learn about potential new applications.
A-367 14:23
New horizons in MRI
G.M. Glazer; Stanford, CA/US
Learning Objectives:
1. To learn about methods which should markedly improve MR sensitivity such as spectroscopic imaging of
hyperpolarized 13C compounds.
2. To learn about uses of real-time fMRI to provide feedback of brain activity for non-invasive therapeutic
interventions including reduction of chronic pain.
3. To learn how appropriate use of existing MR methods can lead to markedly improved patient care with
MR mammography being a case-study.
A-368 14:41
New aspects of molecular imaging
K.C. Li; Houston, TX/US
Learning Objectives:
1. To understand the term "Molecular Image Guided Therapy" and what it encompasses.
2. To understand how the combination of image guided energy deposition and smart design of chemical and
biologic agents can allow us to remotely control interactions of different diagnostic and therapeutic agents
with different tissues in vivo.
