This course is designed as a precursor or cohort course to a clinical internship in MRI. Through discussion, lecture, films, and workstations, students will learn the basics of patient positioning, coil selection, common protocols for specific pathologies, cross-sectional anatomy, artifacts, motion suppression techniques, the use of contrast material, appropriate uses of scanning options and sequence parameters for imaging procedures including head and neck, spine, thorax, abdomen, pelvis, musculoskeletal and vascular imaging. Students will also be introduced to advanced imaging techniques such as breast imaging and cardiovascular imaging. Prerequisite of RDT 281 is required.
-
3.00 Credits
Through the use of lecture and MR films, this course is designed to introduce the student to specialized techniques in MRI such as spectroscopy, diffusion imaging, perfusion imaging, functional MRI, Vascular, and Cardiac MRI, interventional MRI, and other miscellaneous topics. Prerequisites of RDT 283 IS required.
-
2.00 Credits
This course is to be conducted at a clinical facility and provides the opportunity for students to practice skills that are needed to obtain high quality MRI images, confidently and independently change protocols as the need arises, and recognize image quality issues and make suitable corrections. Students will apply the didactic knowledge of previous courses and be introduced to procedural protocols, utilizing a variety of coils, pulse sequences, imaging parameters, as well as interaction and preparation of patients. Safety management, routine scheduling, and staff interaction will also be covered. The student will move through various phases of competency starting with observing, assisting, scanning, filming and ultimately completing exams from greeting the patient to final paperwork and post processing. An individual research project is also required. Prerequisite of RDT 282 is required.
