Synopsis

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has emerged as one of the most powerful and informative diagnostic tools in all of modern medicine. The push towards higher field strength requires profound engineering expertise, applied to MR systems, more than ever. This course focuses on delivering the engineer’s view of an MR system as opposed to the more commonly discussed clinical applications and image processing techniques. The overall goal of this educational course is to describe general and UHF MRI engineering challenges to the novice reader and point out how these are overcome in realistic technological implementation.
