Training activity information
Details
Set up and optimise methods for T1, T2 and T2* mapping in a specified clinical context, comparing the suitability of different possible methods
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
- Pulse sequences and imaging parameters
- Relaxation processes
- Signal models and fitting
- Optimisation of imaging parameters for clinically relevant range of T1/T2/T2* values
- Image analysis and associated software
- Experimental errors and uncertainties
