to enhance interpretation of DICOM images through the use of 3D visualization and analysis
to gain experience with interactive, quantitative assessment of complex anatomical structures and functional images
to present current directions of quantitative imaging as a biomarker in clinical trials

Describe the methods used for basic analysis of quantitative imaging parameters
Describe the principles of image registration, segmentation, and volume measurement, and select and use appropriate software for 3D reconstruction
Identify key analysis and acquisition requirements for multi-center quantitative studies
Evaluate the impact of quantitative analysis methodology on their research interest
