Training activity information
Details
Vary the MR pre-scan and reconstruction parameters to demonstrate the effect on MR image quality, to include:
- Shim
- Centre frequency
- Transmitter and receiver gains
- Reconstruction filters
- RF coil sensitivity correction
Type
Developmental training activity (DTA)
Evidence requirements
Evidence the activity has been undertaken by the trainee​.
Reflection on the activity at one or more time points after the event including learning from the activity and/or areas of the trainees practice for development.
An action plan to implement learning and/or to address skills or knowledge gaps identified.
Considerations
- Acquisition hardware, prescan settings and their influence on image quality
- Influence of off-resonance
- Effects of receiver under- and over-ranging
