MRI 2008 - MRI Procedures and Instrumentation II


Credits: 3

This is the second semester of a 2-semester sequence. This course identifies common anatomic structures, pathology of the central nervous system and positioning criteria for various areas of the body. This course describes the available coils for magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and their specific applications. How to apply MR imaging parameters in the clinical setting and how to differentiate between different types of pulse sequences will be discussed. The parameters related to tissue characteristics that affect image quality such as T1 and T2 relaxation and how to apply pulse sequence principles to MR imaging. Advanced patient positioning criteria for various areas of the body will be discussed.
