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) Safety in MR 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, participatory, and problem-solving. The curricular unit can be completed through continuous assessment or a final assessment. The final grade (CF) for the subject through continuous assessment is obtained from the grades obtained in the theoretical component (T) and the practical component (PL). Each component is assessed in 2 assessment moments, with a minimum grade of 9.5 points per assessment moment. The final grade is calculated using the following formula: CF = 0.50 T + 0.50 PL. The grade for all assessment instruments is expressed on a scale of 0 to 20 points, and the weighted value of the grades obtained must be equal to or greater than 9.5 points.
