Description
In this Syllabus, the reader will find crutial information on MR methodology, clinical aspects of MR imaging, and MR spectroscopy. In particular, the relevant MR equipment specifications, efficacy and cost-effectiveness considerations, set-up and potentials of various imaging contrasts and spectroscopy applications will be covered. A special section will focus on the effects of patient ageing.
