Physik der Magnetresonanzbildgebung

What it is about

You will learn the physical fundamentals of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The focus of this first part is how MR signals arise, how they are detected and manipulated, and how images are generated from these signals. In the end you will be able to explain and analyze MR signals and basic image formation processes as well as simple pulse sequences.

What you will be able to do

• describe the physical fundamentals of MR signal generation and detection
• understand the process of image formation in magnetic resonance
• explain how image contrast is produced in MR images
• analyze MR pulse sequences and understand their functioning

What the module consists of

• VorlesungDelivery of theory on signal generation, detection, spatial encoding, relaxation, image reconstruction and artifacts
