The safety and health of our students and instructors has caused us to change the April 30th course to WEBINAR ONLY. We are deadicated to making the experience the quality education you expect from MTMI.
This MRI Advanced Training Course was designed for working MRI technologists who want to enhance and strengthen their knowledge on the principles of MRI physics and technology. A working knowledge of MR physics, imaging parameters and cross-sectional anatomy is imperative for those attending this course. The faculty for this program are experienced MRI clinical technologists and lecturers with extensive MRI Clinical experience. This intensive 3-day course will highlight and focus on current clinical applications and the latest technical advances. Sign up today to enhance your MRI skills.
Educational Objectives
At the completion of this program, participants will be able to:
- Obtain knowledge on MRI techniques and pulse sequences being used on various studies, such as high resolution cranial nerves, female pelvis and fetal imaging, and spectroscopy.
- Define the MR Safety guidelines as recommended by the American College of Radiology (ACR) and the American Board of Magnetic Resonance Safety (ABMRS).
- Understand the parameters and their trade-offs that affects SNR in order to achieve the best image quality.
- Discuss MR spectroscopy protocols, how it works and clinical usages.
- Acquire knowledge in advanced abdominal imaging, liver imaging and fetal MR imaging and the indications/contraindications for MR imaging.
- Review the MR safety recommendations and guidelines when imaging implants in the MR environment.
- Recognize the importance of understanding contrast media safety with respect to risk of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) and renal function.
- Review advanced neuro imaging techniques, spectroscopy, functional MRI and Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI).
