Totally Accessible MRI

A One-Week Immersion Course

Totally Accessible MRI: Teaser

One week. No prior MRI knowledge required. Open to all. 

"Totally Accessible MRI" is a one-week immersion that introduces the physics and methodology necessary to generate, modify, and optimize clinically useful MR images. The course is comprehensive and detailed, assumes no prior knowledge of MRI, and uses a non-mathematical, conceptual approach to convey the very complex inner workings of MRI. Attendees learn the central role and tension of tradeoffs in optimizing image quality, speed, etc.

Our main objective for the week is to ensure that each attendee comes away with a holistic understanding of the basic concepts and techniques used to generate clinical MR images, as well as greater insight into how aspects of imaging technique can alter and optimize imaging results.

This is an in-person course. See below for dates, registration information, and fees.
