BME  502  - Cardiovascular MRI--Physics to Clinical Application



Biomedical Engineering

Total Credits: 3

This graduate course (seniors welcome) will cover the basic physics involved in creating an image by magnetic resonance technology. The use of this technology, specifically as it applies to the unique challenges of cardiovascular applications, will be examined. This will include topics such as motion compensation techniques, real-time imaging, exogenous contrast enhancement, and quantitative flow measurements, for example. As much as one-third of the class will involve actual case studies and the discussion of clinical use for cardiovascular MRI. Students will demonstrate competence in the subject through a combination of homework, a final examination, and a small semester project. Prereqs: Calculus, introductory human physiology/anatomy/biology course.
