High Relaxivity When its Value makes a Clinically Relevant Difference – CE

This webinar titled “High Relaxivity: When its Value makes a Clinically Relevant Difference” discusses how high relaxivity contrast can improve brain lesion detection. In addition, we explore how to create a lower-dose dynamic for MR protocols using high relaxivity contrast. The purpose of this webinar is to provide physicians, technologists, and other health care professionals with current clinical data to make informed decisions in their clinical settings.

1. Explain the difference between signal to noise and contrast to noise and the significance of this difference in lesion detection.
2. Explain how high relaxivity contrast can improve brain lesion detection.
3. Relate clinical scenarios in which higher relaxivity is likely beneficial and when higher relaxivity may not be as clinically relevant.
4. Create lower-dose dynamic MR protocols using high relaxivity contrast.

The content of this CE webinar is intended for healthcare professionals including Radiologists and Other Physicians, Technologists, Radiologic and Imaging Nurses, Facility Managers, Researchers, and others.

This program has been submitted for 1.0 hours of Category A American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) credit, as designated by The International Society for MR Radiographers & Technologists (ISMRT) Recognized Continuing Education Evaluation Mechanism (RCEEM).
