Have you ever looked at an MRI neuroimaging scan and wondered what you were seeing? Or wanted to improve your ability to translate neuroimaging research into clinical practice? This presentation is designed for the clinician who wants to develop a better understanding of neuroimaging and related terms that appear in medical reports and research publications. Our interdisciplinary aphasia research team, including speech-language pathologists and neuroimaging experts, has developed a presentation to walk you through common terminology and methods using case examples from cutting-edge research in stroke neuroimaging. With our presentation, we hope to help to fill a knowledge gap and help improve understanding of neuroimaging information in research publications.

Learning Objectives:

Define common neuroimaging terms
Recognize different neuroimaging types
Describe how new knowledge of neuroimaging can be applied to clinical practice
