Neuroimaging and Diagnostic Techniques
- Neuroimaging Techniques: MRI, fMRI, PET, CT scans
- Electrophysiology: EEG, MEG, and Evoked Potentials for studying brain activity
- Biomarkers: Blood, CSF, and imaging biomarkers for early diagnosis of neurological diseases
- Diagnostic Tools and Advancements
Neuroimaging and advanced diagnostic techniques have transformed neurology, enabling precise visualization of brain structure and function. This session will explore the latest innovations in imaging technologies, including MRI, fMRI, CT, PET, and DTI, which play a crucial role in diagnosing neurological disorders such as stroke, brain tumors, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, and neurodegenerative diseases. The integration of high-resolution and molecular imaging, along with AI-driven analysis, is significantly improving disease detection, monitoring, and treatment planning.
In addition to traditional neuroimaging, cutting-edge techniques such as MEG, NIRS, EEG, and evoked potentials provide real-time insights into brain activity, aiding in the assessment of conditions like traumatic brain injury, epilepsy, and neurodevelopmental disorders. Discussions will also focus on the role of machine learning and big data analytics in refining diagnostic accuracy, predicting disease progression, and enabling personalized medicine. The ability to analyze vast amounts of imaging data is revolutionizing early diagnosis and targeted treatment strategies.
As neuroimaging continues to evolve, integrating these advancements into clinical practice is essential for enhancing patient care and neurological research. This session will bring together experts in radiology, neurology, and biomedical engineering to discuss how these innovations are shaping the future of diagnostic medicine. The discussion will highlight emerging technologies, challenges in accessibility, and the potential of AI and automation in improving diagnostic precision and treatment outcomes.
