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.

Examination and completion
Grading scale
A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
Examination
- TEN1 - Written exam, 3.0 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.
The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.
Examiner
Ethical approach
- All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
- In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
- In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
