Educational Objectives:
Upon completion of this session, participants should be able to: |
Define and describe the fundamental principles of MR imaging, including the definition of
spin magnetization, the Larmor relationship, relaxation phenomena, and the process of
using the spin magnetization to produce an image;
Explain imaging pulse sequences based upon spin and
gradient echoes, including fast spin echo and echo planar techniques;
Design MR imaging protocols for diagnostic applications
considering image contrast, spatial resolution, acquisition time, signal-to-noise ratio,
and artifacts;
Describe the principles and capabilities of various
advanced MR techniques including perfusion and diffusion, functional, interventional, and
cardiac MR imaging. |
