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

Course Credit
This course provides 36 hours (1 week) or 72 hours (2 weeks) of category A continuing education credit for the radiologic technologists recognized by the ARRT and various licensure states. A certificate of attendance will be provided for each individual upon completion of this course. Attendees must attend the entire course to receive full credit.

All clinical requirements as well as eligibiltiy requirements to sit for the registry exam are listed!
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 cost of this clinical training is $195 per day or $750 per week. (The extended clinical training program is not designed to meet all the ARRT Clinical Competency Requirements).
Recommended Reading
On the first day of the course you will be given a course syllabus containing all the course material.
In addition we recommend these books:
"How Does MRI Work? An Introduction to the Physics and Function of Magnectic Resonance Imaging",
"Sectional Anatomy for Imaging Professionals", and
"MRI Parameters and Positioning",
