Advanced Topics in Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Catalog description

This course covers advanced topics in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), including image acquisition and reconstruction, artifact correction, functional MRI, and diffusion MRI. Instruction will consist of lectures accompanied by hands-on exercises in Matlab. Students will also have the opportunity to perform different types of MRI scans such as functional and diffusion MRI on each other and to reconstruct and analyze the acquired MRI data. Prerequisite: MEDPHY 734 or BME 546 or a similar course, and at least some basic experience with Matlab.
