Overview
About this Course
93% exam pass rate of past students! (2019 survey)
This 7-day online or in-person MRI course provides a comprehensive learning experience. Students will study the basic principles and concepts of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), techniques in manipulating MR parameters to optimize image quality, pulse sequences, artifacts, patient education, screening and safety considerations, anatomy and physiology, case studies, MR protocols and more.
Training is provided by experienced MRI instructors and you will gain a complete set of skills to begin a promising career in the field of MRI, which continues to have a significant impact on medicine. Knowledge of MRI technology will provide a basis for growth and future opportunities for those trained in this modality.
You should attend this MRI program if you are a radiologic technologist or if you have experience in the imaging sciences with basic or no previous MR experience. If you are interested in learning the principles necessary to operate a MR scanner to its optimal level, this program is for you.
This 56.25 credit activity provides the 16 hours of structured education related to the content specifications outlined by the ARRT, required for MRI certification and registration.
When selecting the Webinar option, register 7 days in advance to ensure delivery of course materials in a timely manner.
How to Become an MRI Tech
MRI technologists (sometimes called MR technologists) should be certified to perform MRI scans. To obtain MRI certification, you must first complete an MRI program at an accredited institution. (Note that many MRI schools require students to have an associate degree.) They then need to pass an exam and register, typically with the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (AART).
Educational Objectives
At the completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Explain and review the basic principles of magnetic resonance imaging.
- Utilize appropriate MR pulse sequences in clinical imaging.
- Recognize and minimize MRI artifacts.
- Incorporate current knowledge of biological effects and safety considerations when working in the MR environment.
- Describe techniques in manipulating MR parameters to optimize image quality.
- Explain proper selection and usage of MR coils to optimize image quality.
- Understand and demonstrate proper screening for patients and personnel when working in an MRI environment.
