BE/CNS248 Magnetic Resonance Imaging (Fall 2006-2007, 9 Units)
An expanded graduate course covering MRI, from basic principles to advanced applications.
CBIC: Basic MRI (4 hours)
Covers principles of nuclear magnetic
resonance, MR image formation, MR contrast mechanisms and
practical elements of MRI. Intended for undergraduate, graduate
and post-doctoral students and researchers with little or no
background in NMR and MRI. Elementary mathematical background is
assumed.
CBIC: Advanced MRI (4 hours):
Follows directly from Basic MRI course and
covers advanced MR pulse sequences, MR of coherent and
incoherent motion and basic functional MRI. Intended for
undergraduate, graduate and post-doctoral students and
researchers with basic background in NMR and solid grasp of MRI.
Elementary mathematical background is assumed.

CBIC: Pulse Programming Bootcamp (3 hours):
Three hours of pulse programming instruction designed to
bring students up to speed on RF pulse design, gradient
waveforms, pulse program diagramming, k-space
trajectories and the most useful sequences in general
use at low and high field. Essential information for
those considering attending manufacturers programming
courses (Siemens IDEA, Bruker Paravision, GE EPIC).
