Understanding of some advanced MR imaging methods with related applications.
Prerequisites and basic notions
Knowledge of mathematics and physics at high school level
Program
Prof. Boschi unit:
Part 1: description of the light transport in biological tissues with a special focus on absorption and scattering processes and the Lambert-Beer equation.
The light emission processes and images acquisition. In particular, fluorescence imaging and some preclinical applications and bioluminescence imaging and some experimental investigations used in the oncological field. Description of the instruments for optical imaging acquisitions: technical equipment and image acquisition parameters.
Part 2: New emerging imaging techniques: radioluminescence imaging and Cerenkov Imaging in preclinical field and first attempt on humans.
Other applications in food and vegetables monitoring, Chlorophyll imaging.
Dr. Farace unit
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) techniques have been continuously refined and widely adopted for the characterization of the central nervous system. Various acquisition strategies and analysis methods have been developed; in particular, contrast-enhanced MRI and myelin water imaging (MWI) have been extensively investigated to assess nervous tissue, especially under pathological conditions.
In this course, following an introduction to the principles of MRI and imaging methods, some applications of the aforementioned techniques in experimental studies will be presented.
The final 3 hours of this seminar will consist of a practical session on the 7T MRI scanner available at the Technological Platforms Center (CPT) facility.
Didactic methods
The lessons take place in presence. Questions from students on the topics addressed are encouraged for a more fruitful interaction.
