Course Objectives

On successful completion of this modules, a student will be expected to be able to:-

The course should help the students have a basic working knowledge of the Imaging modality of MRI and also help them actually use it in practice.

The knowledge of proper technical skills of MRI should help them work with full confidence in the MRI unit /department

Learning Outcomes

The subject techniques in MRI form the backbone of Radio diagnosis in the MRI modality of imaging sciences.  The course is relevant in the context that it helps students to understand patient Positioning during the MRI procedure of different organ system to obtain well defined images for proper diagnosis of MRI films and images.
