Training activity information
Details
For all basic MR pulse sequences, investigate experimentally the effects of the key user-controllable parameters on the resulting image quality, acquisition time contrast, coverage, resolution, and SNR
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
- Basic pulse sequences (spin echo, fast spin-echo, gradient echo varieties)
- Inversion and other preparation modules
- Principle imaging parameters: TE, TR, TI, flip angle, readout bandwidth, FOV, resolution, slice thickness etc
- Spatial and fat suppression methods
- Respiratory and cardiac gating triggering
- Safety screening and ethics/consent if scanning human subjects
