School of MRI 2003 - Goals of the courses
Goals of the Courses
Do you really know what k-space means, how to optimise contrast in MR
images using a FLASH sequence, what a RARE sequence can be used for,
and how to interpret artifacts in MR images? Do you know what the
so-called BOLD effect is and how to apply diffusion imaging? Do you
know the best imaging strategies to analyse inborn heart defects and
the optimal sequence to visualise cartilage? If you are easily able to
answer all these questions, there is perhaps no need for you to sign up
for one of the MR teaching courses of the ESMRMB. If not, the ESMRMB
offers you the opportunity to enhance your knowledge and to get
prepared for the needs of modern daily MR business.
There are two types of courses available:
Applied MR Techniques (at basic and advanced levels)
Advanced Clinical Courses
Attendance at one or, better, both of our MR courses on "Applied MR Techniques" will enable you to
- profoundly understand signal and contrast generation in MR
images at different conditions (morphological, biochemical and
technical);
- use the right measurement sequence for your clinical questions;
- optimise your MR examination (measurement protocol, sequence timing, ECG gating etc.);
- verify image contrast by modifying measurement sequence or by applying contrast agents;
- interpret MR images back to tissue components and functional activities;
- use advanced MRI techniques such as MR angiography, diffusion imaging, perfusion sequences etc.
Attendance at one of the Advanced Clinical Courses will enable you to
- ensure optimum use of MRI in the relevant field of MR application;
- know the indications and limitations of MRI compared to other imaging modalities;
- acquire an in-depth understanding of measurement strategies in the relevant area;
- optimise imaging strategies for the best visualisation of underlying structures and diseases;
- interpret morphological data correctly back to tissue components and pathologic alterations of tissues;
- interpret functional data back to physiological or pathological activities.
