Mandatory safety training for all MRI users.

Registrations will open March 2027 - funding request pending. 2-day course (22 & 23 Sept) is aimed at those who would like to understand: the equipment used in MRI (magnetic fields, shielding, shimming, coils, helium) the fundamental principles of MRI (alignment, signal generation, alignment, …) image contrast (T1, T2, image weighting characteristics, …) basic sequences (spin echo, gradient echo) image optimization (SNR, CNR, spatial resolution, scan time, …) image production (data sampling, slice selection, frequency and phase encoding, …) k-space and data acquisition No previous knowledge of MR physics is assumed though we will provide a preparatory list with literature and concepts ahead of the course that may be helpful for understanding the course more complex content.
