MP 543 Advanced Diagnostic Imaging Physics

Credits: 3
This course will introduce students to the areas of health informatics and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The health informatics portion of the course will specifically cover picture archiving and communication systems (PACS), including DICOM standards, data transfer and storage, digital image displays, and clinical implementation of PACS systems. The MRI portion of the course will provide instruction on the physical principles behind nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and how these phenomenon are exploited in MRI. Advanced MRI techniques and applications, along with clinical testing requirements, will also be covered.
