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 off 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).
