MR Physics and Technology

This one-day on-site seminar will provide you with profound knowledge about the newest MR Physics and Technology, including educational sessions and a look at some advanced use of Siemens Healthineers MR systems.

The first part of the day covers the operation and use of acceleration techniques in MR acquisitions, including acquisition schemes, parallel imaging, and compressed sensing; this is followed by a detailed look at diffusion imaging, from the underlying phenomenon to advanced acquisition schemes and their implementation. Educational sessions will be delivered by Marko Pesola, Product Manager for MR, Finland.

In 2019, NTNU received Norway’s first 7T MAGNETOM Terra, situated at St Olavs Hospital in Trondheim; the use of ultra-high field UHF systems presents some unique opportunities and challenges, for both research and clinical use. Neil Jerome, the Siemens on-site scientist attached to the Norwegian 7T Centre, will present an overview of the installation, operation, and experience from the first years’ use of system.

Research in MR often requires modifications and adaptations to pulse sequences beyond those provided by the vendor either as product or work-in-progress; within the Siemens IDEA pulse programming environment, and supported by a research agreement, it is possible to modify and create pulse sequences as needed. An overview of the IDEA programming environment, pulse sequences and image reconstruction, and some of the included tools will be presented, together with some initial experience as a new user of IDEA and ‘getting started’.
