Advanced MRI Methods for VCI Research Workshop Series
Part V - Imaging of Cerebrovascular Reactivity (CVR) - Speaker: Dr. Claudine Gauthier
Dr Claudine Gauthier is an Associate Professor at Concordia University and holder of the Michal and Renata Hornstein Chair in cardiovascular imaging at the Montreal Heart Institute. Her research focuses on using quantitative MRI to understand the how vascular and metabolic health is affected by aging, menopause, vascular disease and exercise.
Learning objectives:
Understand the physiological basis of CVR
Understand how to acquire CVR
Understand some of the clinical applications of CVR
This series aims to provide a series of introductory educational seminars on advanced MRI methods that are relevant to the study of vascular cognitive impairment (VCI). Each session is scheduled to be 1 hour leaving time for discussion and questions, and is aimed at a broad scientific trainee audience working in the VCI field.
