Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Technologist
The Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a diagnostic modality used for medical imaging procedures. It is a powerful tool that can offer a wealth of information about the human body. MRI is performed by using a specialized scanner called MRI machine. The MRI suit consists of computer station, patient’s table that slides into a large cylinder of the MRI machine. Inside the cylinder is a magnet that, when operated, creates a powerful magnetic field. With the help of magnetic field and radio waves, images inside the human body are taken. This procedure is especially helpful to collect images of soft tissue such as organs & muscles which do not appear on x-rays. The MRI Program offers an in-depth explanation of how MRI works. This course not only serves the basic introduction to MR imaging, but also assists students with the general overview of the didactic components as well as clinical externship required for the certification.
Program Objectives
- Learn the components of the MR system hardware
- Learn magnetism with reasonable comfort and ability to use the subjective material
- Learn the mechanism by which MR signal is produced and detected
- Learn MR tissues characteristics such as density
- Learn conceptualize and explain spatial localization as well as MR image formation
- Learn to apply the principle of pulse sequences for appropriate clinical application
- Learn to apply the imaging parameters & options available to the user for optimal MR imaging
- Learn to identify the tissue parameters that affect tissue contrast
- Learn patient care & safety
- Learn the basics on how to maintain scanner such as quality control (QC)
