Course Description
This course will develop your knowledge of the clinical, technological, instrumental and physics concepts of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Your understanding of MRI is integral your professional practice in all streams of Medical Radiations.
Objectives/Learning Outcomes/Capability Development
This course contributes to the following Program Learning Outcomes for BP148 Bachelor of Applied Science (Medical Radiations) (aligned to the Accreditation Standards of the Medical Radiations Practice Board of Australia):
Standard 1.5 Practice in medical radiation sciences
1.5b. Apply principles of medical radiation physics and instrumentation
Standard 1.6 Practice in diagnostic radiography
1.6 1e. Explain the principles and clinical applications of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging
Standard 1.7 Practice in nuclear medicine
1.7 2a. Explain the principles and clinical applications of ultrasound imaging and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging
Standard 1.8 Practice in radiation therapy
1.8 2a. Explain the principles and clinical applications of ultrasound imaging and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging
On successful completion of this course you should be able to:
- Review, select and explain appropriate scanning sequences for a variety of body regions and pathologies
- Describe the technological aspects, instrumentation and physics concepts of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), and their application to the clinical practice of MRI
- Describe and explain the presence and remedy of image artefacts in Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Overview of Learning Activities
Teacher guided learning activities in the form of lectures, tutorials and online activities will equate to 60 hours over the duration of the course.
It is expected that you (the student) will undertake 60 hours of out of class independent study activities.
Overview of Learning Resources
You will be expected to make use of the course learning management system. This resource provides a range of materials aimed at supporting your learning and you are encouraged to actively use this site and the material it contains. You are also expected to conduct a significant level of self-directed learning to reinforce learned concepts.
