This course aims to provide participants with a thorough introduction to both spectroscopy and imaging techniques using proton and non-proton (x-nuclear) nuclei. It combines theoretical lectures with practical hands-on training to cover the full spectrum of MR methodology - from fundamental principles to advanced applications.
The course is divided into two complementary parts:
Theoretical Lectures
Participants will be introduced to key concepts and advanced methods, including:
Special emphasis will be placed on thermally-polarized non-proton nuclei such as ²H (deuterium), ²³Na (sodium), and ³¹P (phosphorus), highlighting their specific signal characteristics and potential for metabolic and functional imaging.
Practical Hands-On Training
Through dedicated sessions on GE Healthcare MRI systems, participants will:
By the end of the course, attendees will have developed both the theoretical understanding and practical skills needed to carry out and evaluate MR spectroscopy and x-nuclear imaging studies.
