Synopsis
An educational and entertaining romp through common and uncommon MR artifacts with explanations by experts in the field.Highlights
--Artifacts to defy the imagination!
--Explanations from an all-star cast of artifact experts!
--Prizes!
Target Audience
Anyone wanting to expand their ability to identify and correct artifacts encountered in MRI.
Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to:
--Classify and evaluate principle categories of artifacts
--Identify sources of commonly encountered artifacts and implement methods to avoid them, and
--Recommend further tests for problem solving and troubleshooting artifacts.
Description
The purpose of this course is to introduce the audience to image artifacts that may occur when using MRI, to explain what causes these artifacts, and to offer some ways to mitigate these artifacts. The course information will be presented in a light hearted “game show” format where “contestants” will be asked to answer a series of questions about the artifacts being presented. Audience participation through the audience response system will be encouraged. Following these short “game show” segments, experts in the field will offer brief presentations discussing the appearance of the artifacts, the physics causing the artifacts and practical methods to avoid or minimize them.
