MRI

Uitgebreide vaknaam	MRI
Leerdoelen	-At the end of this course the student is able to read, explain and predict the outcome of pulse sequences. Therefore, the student must understand the physics behind MR imaging and master concepts used in MRI (e.g. T1, T2 and T2* relaxation, Field of View, Gradients, k-space)
Omschrijving	-The MR Physics module consists of two blocks: (I) MR basics and (II) advanced methods. The following subjects will be dealt with in the MR basics part: Contrast in MR images; Pixels, matrices and slices; Optimization of scan protocols; Artefacts; Spatial encoding; Resonance and relaxation; Pulse sequences; MR hardware and Bio-effects. In the second part of the module some of the following subjects will be dealt with: Quality control; Angiography; Cardiac MR; Spectroscopy and Functional MRI. The lectures are based on the book by McRobbie cited below. During the practical sessions at the MR, students will apply the theory from the lectures to scanning fruits and eggs. Also, aspects on MR safety are dealt with. During the practical sessions at the computer, students will visualize magnetization and simulate different aspects of a pulse sequence.
