Topic: A ‘New’ Method Image Pain Generators using PET/MRI: Early Clinical Experience

📌 Identify the challenges of current conventional imaging approaches in diagnosing peripheral pain generators.
📌 Discuss the basis for identifying specific molecular and cellular biomarkers of pain and how these biomarkers can be exploited with molecular and cellular imaging techniques.
📌 Demonstrate how clinical PET/MR or advanced MRI approaches in identifying pain generators and how they can improve outcomes in patients suffering from chronic pain.
