A practical introduction to MR imaging 2024-2025

Leírás

Általános információk

The purpose of the subject is that those students who, already during their gradual training, wish to deepen their physical knowledge of the most modern and complex examination procedures in their soon-to-be-chosen specialty (radiology, imaging) - get the opportunity to learn and practice it, in simulated, real, "hands-on" conditions (not onlyvirtually).By completing the course, students will be able to plan and carry out an MRI examination independently, and will have the practical and theoretical knowledge necessary to interpret the meaning of the device parameters that can be set during the examination and their effects on image quality.

Attendance requirements; conditions under which students can make up for absences and the method of absence justification:

the lectures are not mandatory to participate, but at least 75% of the labs should be attended.

 

 

Form of assessment in the study period:

(including the number, topics and scheduling of oral and written tests, their share in the overall evaluation, make-up tests and improvement tests)

 

test questions (optional) and practical tasks.

Number and type of assignments for individual work and the deadline for submission: 

Short presentation of a research paper including the design and demonstration of an MRI echo sequence.

Requirements to obtain the teacher’s signature:

participiation at least 75% of the labs

 

 

Type of assessment: (comprehensive examination, end-term examination, term-grade, term-grade on a three-grade rating scale, coursework project, no examination)

end-term exam: written + oral (practical)

 

Examination requirements:

(list of examination topics, subject areas of tests / examinations, lists of mandatory parameters, figures, concepts and calculations, practical skills and the optional topics for exam-equivalent coursework projects, their criteria of completion and assessment)

The exam consist of two parts: an oral exam, in which the project task is demonstrated, and a written computerized test-exam.

 

 

 

Method and type of grading:

(Share of theoretical and practical examinations in the overall evaluation. Inclusion of the results of the end-of-term assessment. Possibilities of and conditions for offered grades.)

There is no practical grade, the end-term exam grade is composed of the written + oral grades.

 

 

List of course books, textbooks, study aids and literature facilitating the acquisition of knowledge to complete the course and included in the assessment, precisely indicating which requirement each item is related to (e.g., topic by topic) as well as a list of important technical and other applicable study aids:  

The current topic list is always available on the dept website. There may be changes in the topics due to students requesting a certain topic to be analyzed in-depth, or a current research article to be discussed.
