Description
Provides instruction on scan procedures related to the all body
systems and regions typically evaluated with MRI. Emphasis
is placed on patient set up, scan parameters, methods of data
acquisition and contrast administration. Anatomical structures
and the plane that best demonstrates anatomy are discussed as
well as signal characteristics of normal and abnormal structures.
The variations in imaging parameters for specic body regions
and the resultant effect on signal characteristics are discussed.
Evaluation criteria for determining the quality of images is
reviewed. Finally, students will research industry periodicals and
other sources to present contemporary ideas and practices from
the MRI field.
