Course description
This course will provide students with a broad understanding of the use of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to image the human breast. This course will include indications and considerations, fundamental and advanced imaging techniques, post processing, critical image evaluation and the role of complementary imaging techniques. Additionally, theory & implementation of MR imaging methods currently used to maximise image contrast between signal from flowing blood & stationary tissues, such as time-of-flight and phase contrast imaging.
