Event details

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is well-known as a workhorse medical imaging modality, providing excellent anatomical detail for a huge range of body areas.  However, it is at its most versatile when providing information on the function of the body tissues, from assessment of heart motion to measurement of microvascular  blood flow.  This talk will give an overview of how MR works and why it's useful.
