PET/MRI Approach to Dementia Imaging
Friday, August 26th, 2022
ORGANIZERS:
Ana M. Franceschi, M.D., Ph.D. - Associate Professor, Department of Radiology,
Northwell Health /Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell

DESCRIPTION:
The field of hybrid imaging in dementia and neurodegenerative disorders is rapidly evolving and of increasing importance in daily practice to neuroradiologists in both clinical and research/academic settings. In this ASFNR symposium, experts in the field will collaborate to bring their knowledge and expertise together focusing on clinically oriented, functional imaging with an emphasis on brain PET/MRI including FDG, amyloid and tau imaging.

BOLD fMRI Workshop
8:25AM-5:00PM
About This Workshop
Each year a BOLD fMRI hands-on workshop is offered in conjunction with the Annual Meeting.
This workshop will provide a didactic review of clinical fMRI and practical step-by-step post-processing and data presentation of BOLD fMRI of both task-based language and sensory-motor cortex and resting state studies using MATLAB with SPM12 and CONN toolbox software.
Program from 2022 (2023 workshop details coming soon!)

Educational Objectives Attendees should, at the completion of this workshop, be able to perform the following:
• Preprocessing of BOLD fMRI Data
• Realignment/Coregistration
• Spatial Normalization
• Smoothing Single Subject Analysis
• Model Specification
• Model Estimation
• Visualization of the BOLD fMRI Data Resting State fMRI
• Preprocessing of Resting state data
• Post processing strategies
Hardware/Software Requirements Registrants are required to bring to the workshop their own laptop with a minimum 2G of RAM and 10G of hard disk space. The machines should have preloaded SPM12 and MATLAB software prior to the workshop. DICOM BOLD fMRI practice data sets will be available at the workshop. All registrants will be given instructions on downloading SPM12 and the 15-day free MATLAB license prior to the workshop.
Vessel Wall Imaging Workshop
VWI is an exciting and rapidly evolving technique which has become widely available in clinical practice, providing multiple uses for the evaluation of neurovascular diseases. In this ASFNR workshop, experts in the field will collaborate to bring their knowledge and expertise together focusing on the fundamentals of vessel wall imaging. ***Please note this is a non-accredited workshop.
