MRI Training Course for Technologists
|
|
Course Overview
MRI promises to continue providing new avenues of diagnostic imaging that will have
a significant impact on medicine.
A knowledge of MRI technology will provide a basis
for growth and future opportunities for those trained in this modality.
You should attend this course if you are a radiologic technologist or if you have
experience in the imaging sciences with basic or no previous MR experience and are
interested in learning the principles necessary to operate a MR imager.
This course would also prepare you for the ARRT MRI Registry exam. It may be
appropriate to attend the 2nd week of the course alone if you have recent
demonstrable experience and are seeking an intermediate level course. A working
knowledge of cross-sectional anatomy is desirable for this course but is not
required. Non-ARRT registered individuals interested in this course must meet
certain prerequisites.

Course Objectives
At the completion of this course,
participants will be able to:
- explain and review the basic principles of magnetic resonance imaging.
- utilize appropriate MR pulse sequences in clinical imaging.
- recognize and minimize MRI artifacts.
- incorporate current knowledge of
biological effects and safety considerations when working in the MR
environment.
- describe techniques in manipulating MR parameters to optimize image
quality.
- explain proper selection and usage of MR coils to optimize image
quality.
Educational Resources
- Lecture sessions taught by experienced MR instructors
- Library of MRI video tapes
- Training at local MRI clinical sites

Extended Clinical Training Program
|
MTMI has established an MRI Technologist On-site Clinical Training Program. This
program is intended to follow the two (2) week formal training course for
technologists offered by MTMI. Satisfactory completion of a comparable formal
training course will be a prerequisite for participation. Various clinical
training locations around Milwaukee, WI are arranged on an individual basis.
Click here to email Bridgett in MTMI's Education
Department to learn more about
and to arrange for the Clinical Training Program. Space is limited for this
training. (The extended clinical training program is not designed to meet the
ARRT Clinical Competency Requirements).
