| OVERVIEW |
|
This one day program will
begin with a basic overview of MR physics. Then, over
the course of the day, MDs will use physiological
principles and case examples to illustrate the impact of
protocol choices in real world settings. Physics
speakers will build on these examples by explaining the
underlying principles of MR physics that explain the
protocol choices. The presentation will be an integrated
series of lectures, to illustrate protocol choices and
trouble shooting tips. |

| EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
|
Upon completion of this
case based session, participants should be able to:
- Describe routine clinical protocols on a
system-by-system basis;
- Compare basic imaging protocols for the top MR
imaging indications in the routine clinical setting
(keeping in mind alternative imaging strategies);
- Troubleshoot and avoid common pitfalls of these
protocols;
- Demonstrate an integrated understanding of the
underlying MR physics behind clinical protocols; and
- Describe new impact areas in MR imaging, such as
high fields and parallel acquisition, and their
influence on clinical protocol design issues.
