Course Organizer: T. Mareci
Course Description: 2-3 credits, Fall semester
Lectures will provide a detailed treatment of current MR imaging methods for visualizing the structure of cells, tissues and whole animals with a focus on living systems. Also current in vivo MR spectroscopy methods for monitoring biochemistry in cells suspensions and whole animals will be treated. In addition, a lab will be taught so that the students will have practical experience in sample preparation, operation of the instrumentation, and preliminary data analysis. A student can register for the lecture portion of the course for two-credit hours, or register for the lab portion of the course for one-credit hour, or for both the lecture and lab for three-credit hours. The course objective is to provide the students with the knowledge necessary to apply modern methods of MR imaging and spectroscopy to solve research problems.
30 hours of lectures on MRI and in vivo spectroscopy
15 hour of lab/applications
