BMEN E4430: Principles of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, 3.0 pts

Open to undergraduate and graduate students. Auditing fellows/residents/postdocs are welcome.

Prerequisites: PHYS C1403 and APAM E2101 or instructors' permission. Enrollment will be limited to a maximum of 28 students.

Course description: Topics include the fundamental principles of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and the physics and mathematics of image formation with an emphasis on the application of MRI to scientific research and clinical diagnostics. The course will examine both theory and experimental design techniques. The course will be complemented, circumstances permitting, by experiments run in real time at the MRI scanner.[View Syllabus]
