Magnetic Resonance Imaging Fundamentals
MRTY5111
Students will enrol in this unit of study at the University of Queensland as a cross-institutional student. The unit will be credited to the Master of Molecular Imaging on successful completion of this unit of study at UQ.This unit of study explores the principles and methods that underpin Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), a key molecular imaging technique. Topics covered include Physical principles of nuclear magnetic resonance (MR), underlying mechanisms of relaxation in MR & descriptions of the way in which pulse sequences are able to exploit relaxation to produce contrast. On completion of this unit, students will have a thorough understanding of the MRI methodology, and the molecular basis for endogenous contrast. The use of contrast agents to modify image contrast and target particular molecular features will be introduced. The factors affecting the accuracy and potential sources of artefact in MRI images will be explored.
