Training activity information
Details
Model the signal and perform simulations for pulse sequence acquisitions including the different varieties of gradient-echo and CPMG, to optimise image contrast and/or quality
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
- Publicly available simulation software or self-coded simulation
- Bloch equations
- Relaxation processes
- Spoiled/unspoiled/balanced gradient-echo schemes
- RF chopping and spoiling
- Flip-angle modulations during echo train
- Off-resonance effects
