Overview
About this Course
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.
MTMI On-site COVID-19 Safety Policies and Procedures
As MTMI reopens our live courses at our headquarters in Milwaukee, WI, we want to emphasize that we care about the health of our students and instructors. That is why we are adhering to social distancing guidelines created by the state of Wisconsin and CDC.
Upon arrival at MTMI, you will see that there is a health self-assessment tool you can use before you enter the building.
Inside we have clearly labeled the social distancing rules for the elevator to ensure that only 2 people are in the elevator. If you would like to take the stairs, there are two stairwells located around the corners that will lead up to the 4th floor. Also, there are no-touch hand sanitizer dispensers available for you to use at your convenience.
We highly recommend you bring your own mask, however if you do not have one, we will provide one for your use on site. We also have sanitizing stations with disinfecting wipes, gloves and hand sanitizer located throughout the office and classrooms.
In our classrooms we have arranged it so that every table and chair is 6 feet apart. Every night we diligently disinfect the entire classroom area.
You are important to us, so we are doing our best to make this transition back to live courses as safe as possible. We hope to see you visiting us in Milwaukee very soon for upcoming courses this year
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).
