This SMRT Educational Seminar has
been approved for 1.0 Category A Continuing Educational credits.
Watch the SMRT
Educational Seminar "
Physics
of Breast MRI" video and complete the quiz.
To receive credit the quiz must be completed
with a score of 75% or better. Completion of all questions with a passing score
will earn a total of 1.0 category A Continuing Education credits. The
certificate will state the CE reference number and awarded CE credits.
Members receiving a score less than 75% will be
notified and given the option of taking the quiz an additional two times.
Members should retain their CE Certificate for their Continuing Education
registry requirements.
Important information on ARRT Category A Credits
This activity may be available in multiple formats
or from different sponsors. ARRT regulations state that an individual may not
repeat a live seminar/meeting or self-learning activity for credit if it was
reported in the same or any subsequent biennium. It is the
responsibility of each individual to maintain a record of previously submitted
and credited live or self-learning CE or CME activities. Duplicate credit for
the same activity in the same biennium is not permitted.
Physics of Breast MRI
- To review the basics of MR imaging principles including pulse sequences and image contrast, and show examples.
- To explain frequency and phase encoding and the effect upon spatial resolution.
- To discuss the differences between 2D and 3D MR imaging techniques.
- To describe the effect that higher spatial frequencies have upon the FOV (field of view).
- To explain the different types of parallel imaging and the effects upon the MR images and SNR (signal-to-noise ratio).
- To review the trade-off between SNR (signal-to-noise ratio), scan time and spatial resolution in MR imaging.
- To discuss the parameters that affect SNR (signal-to-noise ratio).
- To describe the timing and processes employed in the MR pulse sequence.
- To explain the different fat suppression techniques and appropriate applications.
- To show examples of T1- and T2-weighted breast images including the effects of a gadolinium contrast agent.
