(objectives)
The course aims to train students in an exhaustive knowledge of the different acquisition protocols of anatomical districts treated during teaching. Furthermore, during the teaching hours, in-depth studies are planned dedicated to the various control and safety procedures required to operate in RM.
Understanding of NMR phenomenon; knowledge of the components of a MR scanner (resistive, permanent, conventional superconductive, MgB2 superconductive); understanding of the mechanisms of signal generation (RF-pulses classification), of image formation (significance of gradient pulse “sequence”) and of the meaning of the main scan parameters (echo time, repetition time, flip angle, bandwidth, acquisition matrix, Echo-Train Length etc…); familiarity with all conventional sequence groups (SE, RARE-SE, GRE, and their 2D- and 3D- derivatives); comprehension of the meaning of different signal “weighting” (T1, T2, Proton Density, Flow, Velocity and Acceleration, Water Mobility, Susceptibility…); examples of typical MR images.
