Course Description
In 9th Basic MRI course, fundamentals of MR physics, imaging techniques and pulse sequences are explained, beginning with the basic concepts of signal and contrast formation, as well as equipment and hardware necessary to interpret clinical images.
Program Objective
9th Basic MRI course will teach MR technologists and radiologist basics of MR physics necessary to understand their daily clinical practice.
The complementary goal of this course is to provide MR technologists, radiologists and MR physicists with a guide to the clinical world of diagnostic imaging. Therefore, the course content is constantly updated by the state-of-the-art research findings, as MRI science and education is evolving quickly in the world.
After completion of this 3-day intensive training program, the attendees would be able to:
