This course provides the student to study the magnetic resonance imaging as a diagnostic tool which includes principles of physics, principles of imaging, principles of image contrast formation, image weighting and formation, pulse sequences, image artifacts, and contrast agents. On the other hand, the clinical aspect provides the student with a basic knowledge of the imaging protocols and parameters and the scanning procedure necessary to obtain MRI images of anatomical structures and organs of the body will be covered (sectional anatomy). The course include one credit hours lab
This course aims to demonstrate a good knowledge of the MRI and its relation to the image formation, describe the different pulse sequences, provide different type of contrast medium used in MRI scanning and also it will provide the student practical knowledge of MRI protocols.
