Neuropathology and MRI Interpretation, Berne / Switzerland, 6 - 10 September 2012 heldLecturers: Prof. Dr. Johann Lang DECVDI (CH), Dr. Anna Oevermann DECVP (CH), Dr. Daniela Gorgas DECVDI (CH), Prof. Dr. Marc Vandevelde DECVN (CH)OVERVIEW This interactive course welcomes neurologists, pathologists, diagnostic imagers and other MRI users as well as trainees in these disciplines. In this course, MRI images are compared to the structural changes of the nervous tissue as seen grossly and histologically. At the same time, lectures and practicals cover the nature and pathogenesis of neuropathological lesions as well as their classification, recognition and interpretation. The principal learning objectives are to acquire a basic understanding of diagnostic neuropathology and to apply this knowledge to the interpretation of MR images. TOPICS - Practical gross neuroanatomy in MRI and brain sections - Macroscopic examination: detecting gross lesions. - Basic reactions of the CNS to damage at the histological level. - Recognition of the major lesion patterns - Principles of classification of lesions - Principles of MRI reading These topics prepare the participants for the subsequent lectures and practicals on the interpretation of different lesion types. Specific categories of lesions: - Malformations - Inflammatory lesions - Tumors of the nervous system - Trauma of the brain and spinal cord - Infarcts of brain and spinal cord - Toxic-metabolic diseases - Degenerative diseases Typical MRI images of various lesions are presented with corresponding gross and microscopic pathological findings. For each topic practicals are conducted with individual reading and interpretation of images of gross lesions and MRI images. The most common histological lesion patterns are studied by reading histological sections with the microscope. The findings are presented at daily plenary session at the end of the day and discussed.
