Content and learning outcomes
Course contents
Intended learning outcomes
After successful completion of the course the students should be able to
- describe the mechanisms of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and the process to create MR images in the scanner.
- describe basic magentic resonance imaging (MRI) pulse sequences to achieve an optimal contrast between tissues while also considering image quality, acquisition time, and safety constraints.
In order to:
- understand the factors and parameters that affect contrast, image quality, and acquisition time in MRI.
- have a broad knowledge base that can ease understanding literature in the field.
