Course description

This program of study will all equip students with advanced theoretical knowledge and experience in the practical implementation of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) sequences as used in clinical and research settings.

The building blocks of MRI methods and their manipulation to alter image contrast will be presented. These building blocks will include combinations of RF and gradient pulse segments designed to produce specific contrast and their parameterisation on MRI scanners will be described. A basic imaging sequence will be further developed during the course to introduce advanced and emerging topics, enabling students to confidently manipulate scanner parameters and generate desired MRI contrast. Modules include RF pulse calibration, shaped RF pulses, advanced Gradient-Echo based Sequences, advanced Spin-Echo based Sequences, angiography, and phase imaging.

The skills and knowledge attained in this course will prepare students of the program for later courses in advanced applications of MRI and practical operation of MRI scanners within the clinical environment.
