About this Seminar
MRI is experiencing increased utilization for imaging. MRI
technology advances are moving fast as this modality takes on more
of the diagnostic imaging workload. Scans that once took hours now
take minutes... or even seconds to acquire. Keep up with the
technology and see how MRI can provide faster scans and improved
image quality. The utility (and safety) of increasing field strength
is addressed as well as applications in stroke, abdominal,
cardiovascular and breast MR imaging.

Educational Objectives
At the completion of this seminar, participants will be able to:
- Separate the characteristics of a basic FSE pulse sequence.
- Identify the appropriate clinical applications of fat and water suppression.
- Assess safety considerations with regard to increases equipment in Tesla field strength.
- Integrate technical and practical considerations for cerebrovascular, cardiovascular and abdominal imaging.
- Validate the unique value of MR in the evaluation of the breast.
