MRI Basic Sequences Course is organized by Medical Professionals.

Accreditation:
Approved by the ASRT (American Society of Radiologic Technologists) for 1.5 Category A CE Credits.

License duration: 6 months from purchase date.

Description:
MRI technology is very complex, many articles and books have been written about it, therefore, it is practically impossible to discuss everything in one course. This article focuses on basic MRI sequences. The first part will address the spin echo sequence. Then inversion recovery, gradient echo and time of flight sequences will be reviewed.
