| Overview This two-hour course will be a basic and comprehensive review of MRI physics and techniques. The presentations will be non-mathematical and suitable for clinicians and physicists new to the field. The course will cover advanced techniques including perfusion and diffusion imaging as well as recent developments in high-field imaging. Target Audience This course is primarily designed for the clinician who will benefit from an understanding of the "how�s and why�s" of MR imaging. While it requires no prior experience with MR, those with some familiarity and experience will also benefit. Those interested may include: radiologists and clinicians relatively new to MR imaging (including residents and fellows), experienced radiologists and clinicians wanting a refresher course in MR physics, and physicists and engineers wanting an introduction to the field. Educational Objectives As a result of attending this course, participants should be able to: � Describe the principles of perfusion imaging and diffusion weighted imaging; � Select the appropriate contrast agents to be used to target different anatomical areas and physiological processes during imaging, and explain why; and � Understand current concepts, applications and challenges in high-field MR imaging. |
