This module discusses past and potential future developments in MR imaging and the most prominent researchers and pioneers in the field. Learn how an image is acquired using MR and how an MR signal is produced and detected.
This module describes the major hardware components in MR imaging and explains magnetism and magnetic properties. Learn about three basic types of magnets and the differences in low-, mid-, high- and ultra-high–field systems. The functionality of the shim system in MR imaging is also explained.
This module explains the functionality of the radiofrequency system and gradient system in MR imaging. Learn how gradients alter magnetic fields and what role coils play when applying gradients.
This module explains the intrinsic and extrinsic parameters that affect image quality. Learn how to describe image contrast appearance according to image weighting and the use of gradient and radiofrequency pulses in acquiring MR images.
This module explains the proper screening and preparation of patients for contrast-enhanced MR imaging examinations. Learn how to describe the use of MR contrast agents and how to prepare contrast materials for injection. Potential adverse effects of contrast agents, the mechanism of action and the effects of contrast media on images are also discussed.
This module explains the parameters related to tissue characteristics that affect image quality such as T1 and T2 relaxation and how to apply pulse sequence principles to MR imaging. Learn the concepts of image formation and how to describe image contrast appearance according to image weighting.
This module discusses the elements of safety management that help ensure an MR imaging facility operates safely. Learn how to monitor patients during procedures and how to properly screen and prepare patients for MR imaging. Responding to emergency situations in the MR environment, including how to quench a magnet, is also explained in this module.
This module describes the imaging parameters that determine image contrast and how imaging parameters determine spatial resolution on MR images. Learn the names of imaging parameters involved in MR image formation and how to obtain diagnostic MR images with minimal artifacts.
This module identifies common anatomic structures, pathology of the central nervous system and positioning criteria for various areas of the body.
