Overview
This course addresses a skill sets gap in identifying and debugging the
sources of artifacts in MRI. There will be a focus on artefacts that are
specific to imaging at high field strengths and artefacts that have
different appearances at low field and high field. The course provides
an interactive means for rapidly identifying effect and cause of image
artifacts.
Target Audience
This course has been designed for trainees, MRI technologists and
practicing radiologists who may benefit from the ability to rapidly
identify and eliminate common and uncommon artifacts encountered in
clinical practice.
Educational Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to:
• Classify and evaluate principle categories of artifacts;
• Identify sources of commonly encountered artifacts and implement
methods to avoid them; and
• Recommend further tests for problem solving and troubleshooting
artifacts.
