Magnetic Resonance: Techniques
A.Y. 2024/2025
Learning objectives
The course aims to:
- provide knowledge about characteristics and principles in the use of MRI equipment
illustrate the main guidelines for performing MRI studies of various organs and systems, as well as the ability to recognize in the images: examined segment, acquisition plane, used type of sequence.
- provide specific knowledge to apply the radiological techniques of studying to the central nervous system.
- illustrate the current role of vascular and interventional radiology in the diagnosis and therapy of different diseases, and to inform students about the angiographic devices and technical issues related to the different procedures.
- provide knowledge about anatomy and pathology of the upper airway and their correlation with diagnostic imaging.
