Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Catalog description

This is a course in medical magnetic imaging for certified technologists that includes a history of magnetic imaging in radiology sciences, advanced principles of image reconstruction for human anatomy utilizing radiographic magnetic resonance techniques, essential elements of medical magnet computer systems, patient positioning for scanning protocols and data acquisition systematic procedures. Students explore cross-sectional anatomy by utilizing medical cross-sectional radiographs to identify cranial, thoracic, abdominal and musculoskeletal systems, distinguishing each body part in a transverse, sagittal, coronal and oblique magnetic resonance image. Students also examine the principles of magnetic imaging for the patient, imaging technologist and medical team as well as production and control of the magnetic field for scanning procedures and equipment techniques.
