Hello and Welcome to our MRI Education Resource Site
Good Evening and Welcome to our MRI Education Resource Site
The aim of this website is to introduce a range of educational resources in Magnetic Resonance Imaging from World renowned MRI authors and presenters Catherine Westbrook and John Talbot.
These include text books, short courses in MRI for radiographers, technologists and radiologists and electronic learning resources.
As academics with a strong alliance to industry and the NHS, Cathy and John are are ideally positioned to offer a range of MRI related educational resources to these sectors. Over the last 20 years they have forged partnerships with some of the world's leading educators in over 15 countries and over 5 continents, making their MRI in Practice course a global brand.
The MRI in Practice philosophy uses a three-pronged approach that no other MRI educator can match, namely Apps, Books and Courses - we like to call it the ABC of MRI education. These interlinking resources have been designed from the bottom up to complement each other and provide the practitioner with a solid resource base that they can refer to again and again. Click the menu links at the top of the page to learn more about what we can offer you and your colleagues.

App 01 (Basic Principles) The Static Field
explains how the main magnetic field of the MRI scanner is generated in permanent and super-conducting systems and how this field is used to cause alignment and precession of the magnetic moments of MRI active nuclei.

App 02 (Spin Echo Pulse Sequences) Conventional Spin Echo
outlines conventional spin echo, explains why spin echoes are used and how they offer advantages over gradient echo sequences in terms of contrast and image quality.
The mechanisms of each sequence, are explained along with appropriate parameters and example images.

App 03 (Artefacts) Phase Mismapping (Ghosting)
App 03 looks closely at phase mismapping (also known as ghosting or movement) artefact, and explains in detail how to reduce the appearances of this image quality problem.

App 04 (Image Optimisation) Signal to Noise Ratio
focuses on the all-important relationship between signal to noise ratio, spatial resolution and scan time. Advice on how these scan components may be optimised by evaluating and modifying a protocol is also covered.
