PHY336 Magnetic Resonance Imaging (8)
CSU Discipline Area: Medical Radiation Science (MEDRA)
Duration: One session
Abstract:
This subject deals with yet another nuclear application in medical imaging: nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). It covers basic physics and instrumentations of MRI, image contrast and construction, image artefacts, the advanced MRI technologies of fast echoes, gradient echoes and Echo Planner Imaging (EPI), and bio-effect and safety in MRI.
