This Unit of Study explores the application of both standard Magnetic Resonance imaging(MRI) and Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA) sequences, protocols, and techniques used in CNS imaging for a range of clinical applications, e.g., stroke, tumour, epilepsy, inflammation, and neurodegenerative conditions. The application of more advanced techniques used in CNS imaging, including perfusion, diffusion, fMRI, and proton spectroscopy, is explored with particular reference to the differences in image acquisition techniques. Learning is supported by relevant website and video resources together with peerreviewed clinical and research publications to demonstrate the appropriate application of different MR sequences and modifications required for a range of CNS patient presentations
