The [18F]FDG-PET Workshop – Assessing Brain Glucose Metabolism in Patients with Disorders of Consciousness: From Acquisition to Interpretation aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the use of [18F]FDG-PET imaging in brain-injured patients. Speakers will cover a wide range of topics, including patient preparation, tracer kinetics, data acquisition, image processing and analysis, and the interpretation of clinical results.
The workshop will conclude with a forward-looking presentation on the future of PET imaging and its implications for patients with disorders of consciousness. A major emphasis will be placed on hands-on activities to support practical learning, as well as on the presentation of real clinical cases, fostering discussion and interaction between participants and experts.
The faculty includes Dr. Jitka Annen (University of Ghent), Ir. Claire Bernard (University Hospital of Liège), Dr. Florentin Kucharczak (University of Montpellier), Dr. Arianna Sala (University of Liège), and Dr. Tommaso Volpi (Yale University).
The detailed program of the event is available here.
This workshop is part of the training activities of the DOC-BOX initative. The Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) - funded DOC-BOX initiative aims to support both patients and healthcare professionals in the field of disorders of consciousness, by creating an innovative toolbox. This toolbox incorporates rapid and easily deployable behavioural and neuroimaging tests, ultimately enabling doctors to assess and diagnose patients more accurately and efficiently within the constraints of clinical time.
The workshop is organized by Dr. Arianna Sala, University of Liège (Coma Science Group, NeuroRecovery Lab), specialised in molecular imaging of brain glucose metabolism for the assessment of disorders of consciousness.
