Course Description
This course will provide the understanding of MRI fundamentals and how manipulating MRI parameters can affect the contrast of the final image. The MRI fundamentals discussed include, echo time (TE), repetition time (TR), RF pulse, slice selection, spatial encoding, k-space, multiple dimension imaging including 2D and 3D, pulse sequences (spin echo and gradient echo), parallel imaging, and non-contrast angiography (Time of Flight (TOF)). MRI is always evolving and changing to improve patient experience and comfort, image acquisition speeds, and image detail.
