(Course will be conducted in English)

Applications are now open for the course "Acquisition and Processing

of Magnetic Resonance Images - Hands-on course", to be taught by Prof.

Dr. Richard Frayne, from the University of Calgary, between October

31st and November 7th 2014. The application form is available until October 20th, through the link: http://goo.gl/vZlCJE

The course will be offered at the University of Campinas and aims to

allow graduate students and researchers working directly with MRI to

deepen their knowledge on acquisition and processing of these images

through a practical and dynamic approach. Since it is a "hands-on"

course, participants will have the chance to experience the challenges

and difficulties of working with MRI and interact with many

researchers in correlated areas.

The candidate selection will be based on the engagement to the BRAINN

project and the supervisor recommendation. The places are limited and

each group will have 6 members, 2 from each of the following areas:

Clinical Studies, Medical Physics and Computing.

Organizers:

FEEC: Roberto Lotufo, Leticia Rittner

LNI: Gabriela Castellano, Roberto Covolan

Acquisition and Processing of Magnetic Resonance Images - Hands-on course

Objectives:

The course aims to discuss MRI physics and principles of image

formation, pulse sequence design, contrast manipulation and fast

imaging. It is also intended to offer a hands-on experience on Image

acquisition and processing and an opportunity of interaction among

BRAINN members.

Target audience:

This course is designed for Engineering, Physics, Medical Physics and

Medicine students and researchers who use Magnetic Resonance Imaging

(MRI) as a tool to study and analyze the brain.

Methodology:

Groups of 6 participants will be supervised by one senior researcher.

Groups will be formed by students and researchers from different areas

(Clinical Studies, Medical Physics and Computing). Each group will

acquire images and develop a MRI processing and analysis project.

Schedule:

Oct 31st - Friday 14h-18h - Theory of MRI formation - Group and Project definition

Nov 1st - Saturday 8h-12h - Acquisition from PHILIPS Scanner

Nov 3rd-6th - Monday-Thursday: 16h-18h - Following of the project development

Nov 7th - Friday 14h-18h - Final presentation projects

Local:

FEEC-Unicamp for theoretical classes

PHILIPS Scanner - LNI Lab - School of Medicine - Unicamp

LNI-FCM and LCA-DCA-FEEC - Image processing support

Instructor: Richard Frayne, visiting researcher from University of Calgary
