MRI in Practice Lectures on your Mobile Device
One of the most popular requests by our MRI in Practice course delegates is "why don't you release the lectures on DVD?"
Well we have always thought that it was a great idea - but with our cutting-edge philosophy we thought we could do a little better than "just a video" - so we are introducing a range of iPhone/iPod apps will allow users to purchase a series of electronic presentations that summarise some of the popular topics from the live course.
In addition to a fact-packed multimedia lecture featuring some of our trademark course graphics, each app also contains the written lecture notes, accompanied by some all-new diagrams PLUS a self assessment MCQ quiz that you can take before and after watching the tutorial to check your learning. The great thing about a mobile app is that you can access your content wherever and whenever you choose.
Further apps and updates will be released over the following 12 months in response to the feedback from our course delegates - so make sure you keep posted at the iTunes store for the latest releases.
Each App is designed to work as stand-alone learning resource, but collected as a series they also mesh beautifully with our books and live courses - making them an excellent adjunct to the course presentations. They also make a powerful revision aid, reinforcing learning of some of the key points for those who have been on our course - or are taking the American Registry (ARRT) exam.
Each app contain a 25-35 minute electronic presentation plus the lecture notes and is priced at just £3.99.
Please note before purchase that this is NOT the full MRI in Practice Course - just short topics from the course.
Available for download right now from the iTunes App Store...
Section 01 - Basic Principles
App 01a: The Static Field
explains how the main magnetic field of the MRI scanner is generated in permanent and super-conducting systems and how this field is used to cause alignment and precession of the magnetic moments of MRI active nuclei.

Section 02 - Pulse Sequences
App 02a: Conventional Spin Echo
outlines conventional spin echo, explains why spin echoes are used and how they offer advantages over gradient echo sequences in terms of contrast and image quality.
The mechanisms of each sequence, are explained along with appropriate parameters and example images.

App 02d: The Principles of Gradient Echo
This presentation introduces the basic principles of gradient echo, the rationale and mechanism behind the sequence and how contrast is generated in this family of pulse sequences.

Section 03 - MRI Image Artefacts
App 03 (Artefacts) Phase Mismapping (Ghosting)
App 03 looks closely at phase mismapping (also known as ghosting or movement) artefact, and explains in detail how to reduce the appearances of this image quality problem.

Section 04 - MRI Image Optimisation
App 04a: Signal to Noise Ratio
This presentation explains the all-important relationship between signal to noise ratio, spatial resolution and scan time. Advice on how these scan components may be optimised by evaluating and modifying a protocol is also covered.

Section 05 - MRI Image Contrast
App 05a: T1 Contrast
This presentation features the important mechanism of T1 weighting. It covers relaxation, recovery and image contrast weighting processes.

Section 06 - Spatial Encoding
App 06a: Slice Selection
This presentation provides a short background to the topic, and explains the first part of the spatial encoding process relating to slice location, orientation and thickness.

Section 07 - k-space
App 07a: What is k-space?
This presentation introduces the basic principles behind k-space in terms that are relevant to the job of imaging the patient. Cathy uses a storage-device analogy to explain what k-space does, how it is filled, and points out why it is so important for imaging professionals to get to grips with this concept - as it impacts on every aspect of MRI imaging.
