Course content
This advanced MRI course builds on the course Advanced MR Physics 1.
The mathematical and physical framework laid down in AMRP 1 is used to focus on MR imaging methods and applications, e.g. fast spin echo and gradient echo scanning methods, MR angiography, perfusion quantification, diffusion imaging, etc..

Credit
You will be awarded 5 EC on passing the exam. The exam is “open book” which means you are allowed to bring all course material (books, notes, handouts) to the exam. E-readers and/or tablets or other electronic devices are not allowed.
