'Ενας στους δύο νοσηλευτές θέλει να μετακινηθεί σε σχολείο [ελληνική μελέτη]

This workshop will discuss the current state of the art of MRI techniques for measuring neurofluids (dynamics of blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain), and how the images from these techniques should be interpreted and applied to patients with clinical disorders. Sessions will include a focus on novel methods in phase contrast MRI, functional MRI, ASL, diffusion, and motion-sensitive MRI techniques, and how these techniques can be rigorously validated and accurately interpreted. Sessions will describe the current knowledge about the physiology of CSF flow in the brain at multiple spatial scales, and its links to waste clearance and lymphatic systems. We will discuss many clinical applications of these methods, including in traumatic brain injury, Alzheimer’s disease, sleep and sleep disorders, pediatrics, hydrocephalus, and aging. We will include a practical hands-on session on how to analyze several types of MRI data focused on neurofluid measurement. We will also include a session on open-source data and tools, to enable attendees to begin working with these methods on their own. This workshop provides technical insight, practical knowledge, and clinical context for imaging and understanding CSF and waste clearance systems in the brain.
