MEETING DESCRIPTION:
The American College of Radiology has established a voluntary certification program for MRI facilities. Clinical medical physicists have an important role to play in assessing the performance of MRI units under this program as well as assisting facilities to implement more advanced applications which will expand their MRI services. This course combines a comprehensive series of lectures on the technology of MRI with six hands-on laboratories to provide practical demonstrations of key concepts and procedures. The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center has graciously offered the use of several MRI units for these laboratories. This is a unique opportunity to learn both theory and practical assessment and testing of MRI units, including 3T systems, from an experienced and knowledgeable faculty. Participation will provide the continuing education credit required for supporting certified MRI facilities. It is also useful for preparing to take the subspecialty examination in MRI offered by the ABMP.

Approval has been received from CAMPEP for up to 21 hours of Medical Physics Continuing Education Credit (MPCEC) for qualified medical physicists.
