This course is designed both for radiology trainees and for consultants wishing to improve their knowledge in anticipation of reporting more MRI.
Lectures will cover imaging strategy, techniques and image review from a problem-based perspective. The more commonly encountered topics in neuro, musculoskeletal and general body MRI will be covered in more detail. There will also be three lectures covering the most commonly used sequences; their clinical applications and the pitfalls associated with each.
