Neuroscience Imaging: Clinical Practice and Research Applications

• Introduction 10 minutes

Translation of neuroimaging technologies to advance clinical care

55 minutes

• Speaker:
• Content: Using disease based orientation provide detailed examples of how clinical and research image acquisition and analysis informs clinical decision making. Will include information on when imaging acquisition is based on clinical standards versus research sequences.
  
• Pediatric epilepsy (ectopic grey matter)
  • fMRI functional localization,
  • white matter connectivity - DTI
  • structural MRI
  • MEG/EEG
  • PET/SPECT
  • CT - localization of electrodes
    

• Tuberous Sclerosis (phenotype- all with tubers, +/- autism; not related to localization of lesions)
  • structural MRI- FLAIR, SWI (email Marty and Karl to Simon)
  • CT scan
  • DWI- DTI, tractography (myelination)

Quantitative Neuroimaging Biomarkers

45 minutes

• Speakers:
• Content:
  • What makes a good quantitative imaging biomarker?
  • Lifecycle of a neuroimaging data (notion of pixel, format, post-processing, from acquisition to PACS and back etc)

Pathophysiological and clinical insights from neuroimaging

55 minutes

• Speaker:
• Content:
  • Based on work in both MS and cerebrovascular disease will include image data management too.
