Magnetic Resonance Imaging

• ApresentaçãoPresentation

  Magnetic resonance imaging is widely used in medicine for diagnosing a variety of medical conditions, from musculoskeletal injuries to neurological diseases. Therefore, students who successfully complete this curriculum unit will be better prepared to understand the fundamentals of this imaging technique, as well as the technical image acquisition procedures and their evaluation.
• ProgramaProgramme

  Introduction to Magnetic Resonance (MR) Physical principles in MR MR equipment components and radiofrequency coils MR imaging (acquisition, visualization and artifacts) Anatomical study plans, terminology and anatomical concepts, anatomical parts orientation Interpreting Sectional Anatomy and Phatology according to the clinical field at study MR examinations in Neuroradiology studies Skull Spine Vascular examinations Specific examinations with post-processing MR examinations in Radiology studies Neck/cervix Thorax Breast Cardiac Abdomen Pelvis Vascular examinations Specific examinations with post-processing MR examinations in Osteoarticular studies   Bones Joints Contrast agents used in MR
• ObjectivosObjectives

  To develop an understanding and detailed knowledge on the technical procedures for Magnetic Resonance (MR) image acquisition, in Neuroradiology, Radiology, osteoarticular and vascular examinations To be exposed to the general principles in Sectional Anatomy and Pathology and get familiar with the respective terminology and anatomical visualization/identification, thus developing observation and descriptive skills To acquire a knowledge base solid enough to be used during image acquisition and interpretation, in future professional settings in the clinical environment To identify, interpret and describe healthy and pathological anatomical structures of the human body, based on MR image visualization To correlate the examination acquisition technique to the anatomical structures and respective functions To integrate the specificity of each anatomical system with the radiological technique employed in the examinations

• MetodologiaMethodology

  Expository, demonstrative and active methods. Problem solving. This curricular unit can be completed via continuous assessment or a single final evaluation. The final classification (CF) for the continuous evaluation mode is obtained from the marks obtained in both the written theory (T) and the practice (PL) components. The written component consists of two written tests on the theoretical contents. The minimum grade for each frequency is 9.5 values. The pratical component consists of two assessment moments, to be held during the classes and whose grade must be equal to or greater than 9.5 values. The final grade is calculated from the following formula: CF = 0.40 T + 0.60 PL. The classification of all assessment elements is expressed on a scale of 0 to 20, and the weighted value of the obtained marks must be equal to or greater than 9.5 values.
