Progressive Imaging Techniques in MR
8 Hours ARRT Category A Credit
Paul Worthington, BS, RT(R)(MR)
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.
