9 courses with the subject MRI, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
MRI 201MRI Physics3
This course provides the Imaging Technologist with an understanding of the physical principles and instrumentation involved in Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Focus will be placed on magnetism, MRI system principles, operations and components. MR signal production, tissue characteristics, pulse sequencing, and imaging parameters necessary for image formation will be examined. Quality control techniques for the reduction of image artifacts will be discussed. hours. This course is offered in a hybrid format. Spring.
This course will examine MR procedures and protocols suitable for adult and pediatric patients. Selection of appropriate parameters and the use of intravenous contrast media to produce quality MR images will be discussed. Evaluation of MRI images will prepare the student to differentiate between axial, sagittal and coronal planes and identify the structures best demonstrated in each. Upon successful completion of this course, students will recognize techniques to reduce image artifacts and create high quality MR images. hours. This course is offered in a hybrid format. Spring.
This course will introduce the student to the techniques necessary for proper patient care and basic scan technique in MR imaging. Specific emphasis will be placed on patient safety in regards to the magnetic field and patient preparation prior to examination. Patient management, monitoring, and assessment of the patient, will be emphasized. Patient care skills including venipuncture and contrast administration will be presented. Patient screening procedures will be discussed to ensure the student’s ability to communicate and interview the patient prior to the MR procedure. Protocol and procedure of MR examination of the brain and spine will be covered. An introduction to Basic MRI equipment and imaging parameters will prepare the student to enter the clinical setting. The clinical component of this course will allow the student the opportunity to apply their patient care and clinical skills. hours (2 hours theory, 4 hours clinical). This course is offered in a hybrid format. Fall.
This course provides the Imaging Technologist with an understanding of the physical principles and instrumentation involved in Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Data acquisition components, image manipulation and factors controlling image resolution including pulse sequences will be discussed. Focus will be placed on MRI system principles, operations and components. Other topics include quality control, techniques for the reduction of image artifacts, and contemporary issues surrounding advancements in Magnetic Resonance Imaging. hours. This course is offered in a hybrid format. Spring.
This course will familiarize the student with the common pathologies found in magnetic resonance imaging and their appearance with various imaging protocols. Each disease or traumatic process is examined from its description, etiology, associated symptoms and diagnosis with appearance on MRI. Terms associated with these pathologies will be included. The course content will be inclusive of all commonly imaged body systems and areas. Case studies and images of the pathologies will be used to reinforce course subject matter. hour. This course is offered in an online format. Fall.
This course will take the student’s knowledge of Magnetic Resonance Imaging and relate it to day-to- day tasks encountered in the MRI department. Content provides detailed coverage of procedures for 173
This course provides students with opportunity to apply knowledge gained from classroom instruction to the computed tomography clinical setting. Concepts of team practice, patient-centered clinical practice and professional development are discussed, examined and evaluated through structured, sequential, competency-based clinical assignments. Emphasis is placed on patient centered care, positioning, protocols, procedures and image production in magnetic resonance imaging. Healthcare legal and ethical considerations are discussed. The clinical experience will allow the student to assume a variety of duties and responsibilities within the MR clinical environment to meet the necessary requirements to apply to take the ARRT Magnetic Resonance Imaging Registry Examination. hours (288 clinical hours). Clinical education is conducted at a clinical facility. Spring.
This course will prepare the Magnetic Resonance technologist to efficiently perform imaging examinations of the heart and coronary arteries. The cardiac MR topics to be covered include patient management during the imaging procedure, ECG set-up and evaluation, arrhythmia recognition, and IV contrast considerations. Cardiac image acquisition will be explained to include discussion related to imaging protocols and image quality. A review of the cardiac cycle, phase selection, reconstruction and image processing will be explored. hours. This course is offered in an online format. Spring.
