MRS552 Magnetic Resonance Imaging Practice (8)
Abstract| This subject offers the theoretical components to the modality of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). It is offered concurrently with the application of the practical aspects of MRI. The aim is to provide the theoretical bases of the practice of MRI scanning and the mechanism to acquire information in order to perform as a professional in the field of MRI. Emphasis will be placed upon the scanning techniques, scan protocols, clinical indications of the scan, pathology shown and patient management. The subject also offers theoretical mechanisms to develop MR management policies and MR safety procedures for practice in MRI scanning. |
