Magnetresonanztomographie

What it is about

You will gain practical and theoretical insights into magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): from the technical components of a scanner to signal generation and relaxation mechanisms to pulse sequences and modern applications in preclinical and clinical settings. In the end you will be able to prepare, conduct, analyze, and scientifically document MRI experiments.

What you will be able to do

• Prepare MRI experiments independently
• Operate preclinical or clinical MRI equipment and perform measurements under supervision
• Acquire, analyze, and evaluate measurement data
• Scientifically document experiments and results (ready for reporting)
• Conduct literature research

What the module consists of

• Laborpraktikumcentral practical execution of the experiments in groups; preparation, execution, reporting, and presentation
• Kollegium/KolloquiumFinal presentation and scientific discussion of the results

Teaching method

• Gruppenarbeit (in der Regel Dreiergruppen)enables independent work on experiments with supervisor support
• Selbststudium von Handbüchern und ZusatzliteraturPreparation of the experiments and development of theoretical foundations
• Experimentelle Durchführung am präklinischen/klinischen ScannerAcquisition of practical skills in calibration, measurement, and data collection
• Datenanalyse und Berichtserstellung nach wissenschaftlichen StandardsEnsures correct evaluation and documentation
