Objectives

Acquire and/or deepen the fundamental theoretical knowledge of the physical principles of Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
Carry out a reliable examination that is faithful to anatomical and functional reality.
Improve image quality to secure and guarantee the diagnosis.

Operational objectives

Why correct centring of the region of interest in the magnet and a proper SHIM matter.
Patient immobilisation, in particular for wrists.
Sequence setup and protocol optimisation.
Adapting all sequence parameters to pathologies, physiology and patient morphology.
The right response to problems or artefacts on images.
Tips to shorten sequence times and improve image quality.
Theory of parameters that are hard to set: bandwidth, turbo factor, spatial resolution, flow compensation, AI, etc.
Choosing the right acquired and reconstructed pixel size for all sequences.
Ensuring radiologists receive faithful images that reflect reality.

Qualified radiographers and managers in medical electroradiology.

At least one year of MRI experience. Command of French.
