| Overview This two-hour course will be a basic and comprehensive review of MRI physics and techniques. The presentations will be non-mathematical and suitable for clinicians and physicists new to the field. The course will cover the basic principles of MR physics (signal generation, encoding, and relaxation) and k-space. Target Audience This course is primarily designed for the clinician who will benefit from an understanding of the "how�s and why�s" of MR imaging. While it requires no prior experience with MR, those with some familiarity and experience will also benefit. Those interested may include: radiologists and clinicians relatively new to MR imaging (including residents and fellows), experienced radiologists and clinicians wanting a refresher course in MR physics, and physicists and engineers wanting an introduction to the field. Educational Objectives As a result of attending this course, participants should be able to: � Define and describe the fundamental principles of MR imaging including the definition of spin magnetization; � Understand the Larmor relationship, relaxation phenomena, and the process of using the spin magnetization to produce an image; and � Describe and understand the concept of k-space. |
