Overview
About this Webinar
This series of four webinars will benefit the student preparing for the Advanced MRI Registry Exam. The webinars will review the basic tissue characteristics, MRI instrumentation systems, identification of various artifacts, appropriate imaging procedures, MRI safety, and identification of anatomical structures, appropriate imaging procedures, and aspects of patient care.
A certificate of attendance, documenting 4 hours of credit will be provided for each individual upon completion of each 3.5 hour session of the webinar. Completion of all 4 sessions of this series will provide the 16 hours of structured education related to the content specifications outlined by the ARRT, required for certification and registration..

This webinar will be presented in four - 3.5 hour, 4 credit sessions.
Educational Objectives
At the completion of this webinar, participants will:
- Understand the creation of the MRI signal, from precession to detection by the RF coil.
- Explain basic tissue characteristics (TI, T2, PD, and T2*), and identify images by these characteristics.
- Describe the various instrumentation systems used in MRI, and their purpose, including gradients, radiofrequency, magnet and coils.
- Explain the differences in pulse sequences and the trade off in parameters that affect image quality.
- Recognize artifacts seen on MRI images, and discuss how they are caused and prevention.
- Review imaging procedures for all areas of the body, including identification of anatomical structures in all imaging planes.
- List the several aspects of MRI safety that should be adhered to in the workplace.
- Assess knowledge base of MRI by participating in a mock registry exam.

Testimonials
I am currently in school studying MRI Technology & will be taking the ARMRIT Exam in a few months. I thought this would be a great way to review information that I may have forgotten or solidify concepts that I needed extra attention on & it was great. Eduardo was clear, well-spoken, focused & informative without losing my interest. I will definitely be prepared for my exam because of this webinar series! Thank you very much.
Eddie is an excellent teacher. He is very thorough and puts things on a level that helps you to understand and grasp things. I have absolutely no MRI experience yet, but I'm learning alot from Eddie to get started. Thanks Eddie.
