-----------------Bio-NMR-Workshop: Modifying Magnetic Resonance Imaging Contrast
December 16th-18th 2009.
Location: University of Kuopio, Finland
Organised by Biomedical Imaging Unit, A.I. Virtanen Institute for Molecular
Sciences, University of Kuopio and Graduate School of Molecular Medicine,
University of Kuopio
The aim of this course is to deepen the understanding of the theory and techniques behind the advanced and novel MRI techniques.
The invited international speakers have been chosen to cover a large spectrum of the most important MRI techniques. Each speaker will present a lecture of the theoretical concepts and design of the studies on the first day and a more applied scientific talk on the second or third day of the course.

Workshop on small animal MR imaging
October 27th-28th 2009.
Location: Norwegian University of Science and Technology,
Trondheim, Norway
Organised by Fuge Molecular Imaging Center, Trondheim.
This two-day workshop will focus on in vivo MR imaging and spectroscopy of small animals, introducing MR theory and providing hands-on training at our MR-scanners. On day 1, there will be plenary lectures from international and local speakers focusing on small animal MRI and MRS applications for brain, heart and cancer. On day 2, participants will be divided into groups and take part in hands-on training on our MR-scanners, as well as learn more about MR-theory/physics. The course will be put together so that it should interests both those that are new to the field of MRI/MRS, and those that have some experience with the techniques.
Topics:
- In vivo MR spectroscopy in brain and cancer research
- Preclinical MR in cancer: in vivo MR imaging and spectroscopy
- Small animal cardiac imaging
- Perfusion imaging
- Brain imaging with manganese-enhanced MRI
- MRI of stem cells and nanoparticles
- Post processing of MR-data
- Hands-on training on 7T dedicated animal MR scanner and 500/600 MHz high resolution spectrometers
- MR-theory/physics
Invited speakers:
* Professor Arend Heerschap, Nijmegen Centre for Molecular
Life Sciences (NCMLS), University of Nijmegen, the Netherlands
* Associate professor Michael Horn, Center for Physiology and Bio-Imaging,
University of Gothenburg, Sweden.
* Professor Henrik Larrson, Functional Imaging Unit, Glostrup Hospital,
University of Copenhagen, Denmark.
