MRS553 Trends in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (8)
AbstractThis subject examines new techniques and applications of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). It is offered concurrently with the practice of clinical MRI. The aim is to provide the theoretical bases of the new techniques and applications of MRI which are not commonly current clinical practice. Emerging developments, whether they be clinical practice, equipment or safety practice, will be examined. |
