Jan Skrok MD, Presenter: Nothing to Disclose

Laura Marie Fayad MD, Abstract Co-Author: Nothing to Disclose

1. Discuss technical aspects of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI), including hardware requirements and dedicated sequences. 2. Highlight common applications of DCE-MRI in musculoskeletal imaging. 3. Discuss possible pitfalls and artifacts of DCE-MRI.

1. Technical Aspects a. Hardware b. Sequences i. Static versus Dynamic contrast enhancement ii. Qualitative and semiquantitative analysis 2. Applications a. Tissue viability i. Diagnosis and treatment success in Charcot foot ii. Perfusion reserve in peripheral artery disease b. Infection c. Tumor imaging i. Benign neoplasms ii. Malignant neoplasms d. Vascular disorders i. Popliteal artery entrapment ii. Soft tissue vascular anomalies in children 3. Pitfalls and Artifacts
