MEETING DESCRIPTION:
Getting Started in MRI
If magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is your next career move, then this is the course for you! You can build a strong foundation in MR by clarifying the physics principles and detailing clinical applications of MR! You will learn equipment and instrumentation, data acquisition, pulse sequencing, MR scan protocols, and much more. This technology is rapidly growing as evidenced by the subspecialty areas of dedicated cardiac MR and functional MRI. You can “jump-start” your MRI learning curve by attending this intensive three day instructional program. The wave of the future will incorporate MRI on the forefront of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. It’s time to “get started” now.
