Learning OutcomesUpon successful completion of this subject, students should:
- demonstrate an understanding of the physics and principles of magnetic resonance imaging.
- explain the basic MRI pulse sequences including 2D, 3D and flow motion.
- demonstrate an understanding of the spatial encoding used in MRI.
- demonstrate an understanding of and be able to implement and assess a basic quality assurance program for MRI. In addition, be aware of and be able to make basic quality control tests and measurements.
- explain the issues in MRI regarding relevant regulations, radiation safety considerations and department planning.
- describe and justify the examination techniques and protocols used in magnetic resonance imaging examinations.
- describe the imaging protocol and technique implications of the major modifications with respect to contrast media used in imaging examinations.
- identify normal anatomical structures and alignment, and common pathological and traumatic conditions, as may be demonstrated by magnetic resonance imaging.
- describe and justify the imaging protocols and alternative techniques used in trauma magnetic resonance imaging imaging.
- identify and demonstrate an understanding of the discipline areas of ethics, legal issues and professionalism. |
