Classroom Training
Classroom training sessions generally take place at our Training Centers. Theoretical principles of imaging are supplemented by a wide range of practical exercises on the most recent systems, giving learners the opportunity to gain skills for day-to-day clinical work.In-depth skills for MTs/RTs and physicians, radiologists
The image quality is a key factor for making a rapid and informative diagnosis. The aim should be optimal image quality and short examination times to optimize the process. How can we influence the image quality? What does a good image consist of? This three-day course should provide answers to these questions. Participants will gain an overview of protocol parameters and their influence on image quality. Enough time will be spent on MAGNETOM systems (1.5T and 3T) to get experience of different parameter settings and develop strategies for improving the image quality and optimizing protocols by using practical case studies. The course is very practice-oriented – participants will spend about 70 percent of the course on the scanner.
