 General Information

The leadership of the ASNR is pleased to announce the eighth annual slate of instructional How-To forums. These one-hour sessions, presented by major corporate contributors, deal with advances in imaging and procedures, as well as principles in neuroradiology and image information management. The How-To Sessions are scheduled Sunday, June 6 - Friday, June 11.

The 2004 How-To Sessions will include full buffet breakfast sessions, which will begin prior to any scientific programming, and one-hour lunch sessions (box lunch provided) daily. All sessions will be held at the Washington State Convention & Trade Center. These exclusive functions, held in the General Session room, are open to all attendees.

The How-To Sessions offer a unique opportunity for neuroradiologists to discuss techniques, procedures, and products with their colleagues as well as with technical specialists from the imaging industry. Comments and suggestions from the meeting registrants over the last seven years were integrated into this year's format.

The sessions include a brief didactic presentation and demonstration, all with a strong practical emphasis. A significant portion of each session is devoted to questions and answers as well as debate, when appropriate. Indications, problems, and solutions relating to the imaging techniques will be addressed including advances in helical CT and CTA, functional MRI (diffusion, perfusion, activation, spectroscopy) and interventional procedures including thrombolysis.

Please Note: Due to the direct financial support from companies to conduct these sessions, CME credit hours will not be granted for any How-To Sessions.
