OVERVIEW |
|
This interactive
two-hour course will utilize an audience response system. The focus
will be on artifacts on body MRI, with lectures addressing how to
recognize and potentially resolve artifacts in diffusion weighted
imaging and other sequences utilized for body MRI. The artifacts
will be discussed in a unique and interactive way to encourage the
audience participation in describing the physics behind the
artifacts, their clinical significance and potential remedies. |
