Educational Session:
Game Show: What Artefacts-lah?
Skill Level: Intermediate to Advanced
Organizer: Wally Block,
Ph.D. & Nicole Seiberlich, Ph.D.
Tuesday 10 May 2016 |
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 artifacts 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.

Doctor! An Artifact! - Video

The purpose of this course is to introduce the audience
to image artifacts that may occur when using MRI, to
explain what causes these artifacts, and to offer some
ways to mitigate these artifacts. The course information
will be presented in a light hearted “game show” format
where “contestants” will be asked to answer a series of
questions about the artifacts being presented. Audience
participation through the audience response system will
be encouraged. Following these short “game show”
segments, experts in the field will offer brief
presentations discussing the appearance of the
artifacts, the physics causing the artifacts and
practical methods to avoid or minimize them.
