Holodny, M.D. 22 CME and 3 SAM credits EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES Understand the fundamental principles behind fmri and diffusion tractography Choose the optimal fmri paradigms appropriate for the patient and clinical situation Deliver fmri paradigms correctly and monitor the patient for adequate compliance Hands on experience so that the attendee will be able to analyze fmri and diffusion tractography Understand how data is delivered to a neurosurgical navigational system and used by the neurosurgeon Avoid pitfalls in the interpretation of clinical fmri and diffusion tractography Optimize fmri billing and coding For further information Please contact Andrei Holodny, MD Conference Location Belfer Research Building Weill Medical College of Cornell University 69 th Street and York Avenue 1

Sanai et al NEJM 2008 Sanai et al NEJM 2008 Functional MRI (fmri) Brain Mapping using MR imaging to measure the quick and small metabolic changes that take place in an active part of the brain. Provides not only closer look at the brain, but determines precisely which part of the brain is handling thought, movement, sensation and speech Anatomy (MRI) vs. Function (fmri) 5
