PROGRAM INFORMATION
MRI for Technologists is a training program designed to meet the needs of radiologic technologists entering or working in the field of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). These units are designed to augment classroom instruction and on-site training for radiologic technology students and professionals planning to take the review board examinations, as well as to provide a review for those looking to refresh their knowledge base in MR imaging.
COURSE OVERVIEW
The skill of the technologist is the single most important factor in obtaining good quality diagnostic images. A successful MRI examination is the culmination of many factors under the direct control of the technologist.
MRI for Technologists: Basic Principles of MRI introduces the learner to the fundamental technical concepts of magnetic resonance imaging including the physics of how hydrogen protons respond when subjected to a magnetic field to how changes in magnetization can be detected and recorded.
