This MR imaging course addresses critical educational and practice gaps among MR radiologists and technologists by providing a comprehensive understanding of Fast/Turbo Spin Echo and Echo Planar Imaging (EPI) pulse sequences. Participants will explore the fundamentals of these sequences, including their operational principles, limitations, and clinical applications, with a focus on EPI-based techniques like Diffusion-Weighted Imaging (DWI), perfusion imaging, and BOLD imaging. The course also tackles key challenges such as geometric distortion and peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS), offering practical strategies to optimize imaging protocols. By bridging the gap between theory and practice, this course equips participants with the knowledge and skills to enhance diagnostic accuracy, optimize protocols, and advance their expertise in MRI.
