Description

This course provides MRI technologists (and interested learners) with essential knowledge of image creation, computational theory, and processing. It covers patient management and explores MRI of the brain, spine, joints, abdomen, pelvis, and breast with clinical examples. Cardiac and vascular MRI, along with less common exams, are also discussed. Accepted by ARMRIT®.

Did you know?

The powerful main magnetic field aligns the hydrogen protons (primarily in water and fat) within the patient. However, it's critical to note that the resulting MR signal is generated not by the bulk of these protons, but only by the net magnetization vector. This vector is created by a tiny excess—roughly four or so extra protons per million—that align parallel to the field. This highlights the extraordinary sensitivity required of the MRI receiver coil to detect the signal from this minute majority.
