The teaching is organized as follows:
Learning objectives
By the end of the course, the learner will have become familiar with the physical principles underlying MRI imaging, critical elements and standards for the safe use of MRI tomographs in the medical field, technological and constructional aspects of MRI equipment and related quality controls, clinical indications for the study with MRI of different anatomical districts also in function of and in integration with other diagnostic investigation modalities, and protocols for pulse sequence generation and data acquisition, both for standard and special techniques, in MRI diagnostics.
MRI EQUIPMENT: the course aims to: - know the structure of the equipment - know the logical sequence and connections of the various components from a technical and functional point of view - know the most common causes of artifacts and methods for their reduction - know the elements on electrical safety of electromedical equipment - know the elements on safety in MRI - know the quality controls related to MRI
CLINICAL APPLICATIONS OF MR IMAGING: to explain the characteristics of MRI equipment, the various parameters that contribute to image formation, the main clinical indications, and the relationship with other imaging methods.
PHYSICAL PRINCIPLES OF MRI AND SAFETY: the purpose of this course is to provide knowledge of the physical principles underlying the tomographs and pulse sequences used in diagnostic studies with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). The possible interactions of static magnetic fields, time-varying magnetic fields and radiofrequency fields with biological tissue and the actions necessary to mitigate their effects on Workers and Patient will also be explained.
MRI TECHNIQUES AND PROTOCOLS: to educate the student in the approach of new MRI imaging methods and introduce him/her to the study of various examination protocols/parameters related to different body districts and different types of equipment to standardize procedures and raise the quality standard of diagnostics.

Bibliography
Learning assessment procedures
Written papers
Oral exams
Case discussions consistent with the objective of understanding the radiological context and systems/equipment in use
group work with formative assessment during assessment with OSCE (Objective Structured Clinical Examination) station examinations with stations consistent with the teaching objectives or integrated with other professional learning areas
Evaluation criteria
The assessment elements that contribute to the awarding of the grade are:
knowledge and the ability to understand,
the ability to apply knowledge,
autonomy of judgment, that is, the ability to make critical sense and formulate judgments,
the ability to communicate.
In evaluating the individual tests and awarding the grade, the teaching teachers refer to the following scale for assessing learning.
Lower than 18 : Fragmentary and superficial knowledge of content, errors in applying concepts, poor exposition
18 - 20 : Sufficient but general content knowledge, simple exposition, uncertainties in applying theoretical concepts
21 - 23 : Appropriate but not thorough content knowledge, ability to apply theoretical concepts, ability to present content in a simple way
24 - 25 : Appropriate and extensive content knowledge, fair ability to apply knowledge, ability to present content in an articulate manner.
26 - 27 : Content knowledge accurate and complete, good ability to apply knowledge, ability to analyze, clear and correct exposition
28 - 29 : Broad, complete and thorough knowledge of content, good application of content, good ability to analyze and synthesize, confident and correct exposition,
30 or 30 cum laude : Very broad, complete and in-depth content knowledge, well-established ability to apply content, excellent ability to an
Criteria for the composition of the final grade
The final grade is the arithmetic mean of the grades for the two modules. The grade for each module is the average of the test results for each of the two courses.
