LONG BRANCH, NJ – The David S. Zocchi Brain Tumor Center at Monmouth Medical Center is hosting “Brainstorm: A Dialogue and Education Series,” a free community seminar scheduled for Monday, March 5 from 5 to 7:30 p.m. in Monmouth Medical Center’s Borden Auditorium. Designed for those affected by all types of brain tumors, the free seminar will focus on understanding diagnostic scans, such as MRI, CT and PET scans.
Guest speaker Stanley Lu, M.D., director of neuroradiology at Monmouth Medical Center will cover topics including the types of information diagnostic scans can provide and the role of follow up scans in detecting tumor growth or recurrence, as well as examples of images from diagnostic scans and what they mean. Dr. Lu will also discuss how the risks and benefits of scans for individual patients are evaluated and the advances in neuroradiology. The seminar will conclude with a panel discussion featuring brain tumor survivors who will share their personal stories.
Registration (sandwiches and snacks) will begin at 5 p.m., followed by the program and panel discussion at 5:30 p.m. A free “Art is Good” workshop will be offered in a separate room for school age children and teens whose family members are attending the Brainstorm seminar.
