MRI Physics for Radiographers (Part 1)

As an introduction to MRI physics for radiographers, this course is designed to explore the physics underlying the fundamentals of MRI. This course is suitable for radiographers or physicists new to MRI or for those looking for a refresher of the basics. Material covered by this course includes an MRI safety update, MRI signal generation, spatial localisation, and tissue suppression. Sessions start with an interactive recap tutorial that helps to solidify knowledge and allows the opportunity to ask further questions. This course is offered as part of the West Midlands Imaging Network initiative to help standardise the level of MRI Physics knowledge across the region.

Delivery of the teaching will be a hybrid approach using Teams and consists of four 2-hour sessions

Part 2 of this course will be advertised at a later date and includes content covering gradient echoes, understanding MRI parameters, MR angiography and MR artefacts.

Part 1 dates include:
