MRIT117 — MRI Physical Principles Instrumentation and Informatics
MRIT 117 - MRI Physical Principles Instrumentation and Informatics MRIT 117 - MRI Physical Principles Instrumentation and Informatics The subjects are formatted in individual outlines and can be sequenced according to the level of knowledge desired. Topics include history of MR, nuclear MR (NMR) signal production, tissue characteristics, pulse sequencing, imaging parameters/options and image formation. Content introduces knowledge in computing and information processing. It presents computer applications in the radiologic sciences related to image capture, display, storage and distribution. Additional content is designed to provide the basic concepts of patient information and management. Medical records management, including privacy and regulatory issues, are examined. The role of the technologist is identified and discussed. In addition, this content imparts an understanding of the components, principles and operation of digital imaging systems found in MR, image data management, storage and data manipulation (post-processing). Factors that impact image acquisition, display, archiving and retrieval are discussed. Content also provides a comprehensive overview of the instrumentation associated with MR imaging. The subjects are formatted in individual outlines and can be sequenced according to level of knowledge desired. Topics include: magnetism, MR system components, MR magnets (e.g., permanent, resistive, superconducting, hybrid), radiofrequency (RF) systems, gradient syst
