Practice applications of diffusion tensor imaging

Professor Dudley Pennell, an eminent scientist internationally known for his work on MRI, discusses a new twist in imaging technology and its difference to what we are used to. 

His talk provides guidance on diffusion and how its information can be handled, together with a strong focus on myocardial architecture and clinical applications. 

• Understand diffusion and how its information can be handled. 
• Recognise what scale of DT-CMR we operate at and how we validate it in the human heart. 
• Comprehend the various clinical applications. 

Professor Dudley Pennell is a specialist in cardiology, nuclear medicine and radiology including cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging.  

In addition to his role at Royal Brompton and Harefield hospitals, he is the director of the British Heart Foundation Centre for Advanced Magnetic Resonance in Cardiology (CAMRIC) and is a senior investigator for the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR).
