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.
