MRIT112 — MRI Imaging Procedures I
MRIT 112 - MRI Imaging Procedures I MRIT 112 - MRI Imaging Procedures I The content covers specific clinical application, available coils and their use, considerations in the scan sequences, specific choices in the protocols (e.g., slice thickness, phase direction and flow compensation) and positioning criteria. Anatomical structures and the plane that best demonstrates anatomy are discussed as well as signal characteristics of normal and abnormal structures. Content provides the student with knowledge of the parameters and imaging options used to create MR images. In addition, the content introduces quality assurance measures used in maintaining image quality. Content is designed to provide the student with a comprehensive overview of MR pulse sequences, image formation and image contrast. Pulse sequences include spin echo, fast spin echo, gradient echo, inversion recovery, echo planar, parallel imaging and spectroscopy. In addition, tissue characteristics, contrast agents and post- processing techniques are covered. MAJOR COURSE LEARNING
