Overview
The ‘2020 SMRT Masterclass Series - The Essentials of MR Physics’ will provide a comprehensive course for MR professionals covering ‘Essential MR Physics through to Application’. The ‘SMRT Masterclass Series' will include seven 60-90mins lectures by Dr Martin Graves. The seven lectures focus on key aspects of MRI that include: 1. MR Physics & basic concepts behind MRI, 2. The phenomenon of resonance and how it relates to the production of the MR signal, 3. Concepts to the principles of k-space, 4. The physics and engineering of MR hardware, 5. Image contrast in Spin Echo & Gradient imaging, 6. The principle of Fast/Turbo Spin Echo and Echo Planar imaging, and 7. The causes of various MR artifacts. In addition, Dr Graves will also be hosting daily live Q&A sessions for MR professionals to support the 2020 SMRT Masterclass Series, and to provide teaching sessions to those motivated to fully understand the concepts, principles and applications presented.

Target Audience
Radiographers, MR technologists, radiologists, clinicians, and scientists interested in learning about the fundamentals of MR imaging.
