EXPLORING WHITE MATTER WITH DIFFUSION-TENSOR IMAGING - COURSE AND WORKSHOP
March 30-31, 2009, Bergen, Norway
‘Exploring White Matter with Diffusion-Tensor Imagingn (DTI)’ is a two days' course arranged by the Bergen fMRI-group concerning the use of DTI to study brain white matter architecture. The course intends to give a broad introductory overview of the background and methods used to acquire and analyse DTI data, and the use of DTI in understanding brain maturation and white matter connectivity. The course will specifically address white matter tractography techniques, i.e. deterministic and probabilistic fibre tracking, and present recent DTI findings in basic and clinical research. On the second day there will be a hands-on workshop in which the participants will learn how to virtually dissect white matter pathways. Keynote speakers will be Dr. MARCO CATANI, head of the Natbrainlab at the Institute of Psychiatry, King's College London, UK; and Prof. DEREK JONES, director of MRI at the Cardiff University Brain Research Imaging Centre, Wales, UK.
