Join us for this 3 day course for practicing Radiologists and Magnetic Resonance technologists that will focus on new strategies to correctly interpret common MRI exams, how to recognize image quality issues and execute strategies to correct them. In addition, this course will review the underlying principles of MR physics and image protocol decisions with colleagues to improve team efficiency.
