Technological breakthroughs in medical imaging hardware and the emergence of increasingly sophisticated image processing software tools permit the visualization and display of complex anatomical structures with increasing sensitivity and specificity. This course begins with an introductory presentation of state-of-the-art, clinical examples of quantitative imaging biomarkers for diagnosis and clinical trial outcome measures. Cases from multiple imaging modalities and from multiple organ systems will be highlighted to illustrate the depth and breath of this field. Participants will then be led through a series of tutorials on the basics of viewing and processing DICOM volumes in 3D using [http://www.slicer.org 3D Slicer]. A [[media:QuantitativeImaging_SoniaPujol_RSNA2014_Dec2.pdf‎ hands-on | Quantitative Imaging tutorial ]] with pre-computed datasets will focus on basic use of 3D Slicer software, quantitative measurements from PET/CT studies, and volumetric analysis of meningioma.
This [[RSNA_Quantitative_Imaging_Course |course]] is offered in collaboration with the Johns Hopkins Institute for Clinical and Translational Research.
