1) Understand the history and development of magnetic resonance imaging equipment. 2) Understand the impact of equipment development on testing protocols. 3) Understand the requirements for medical physics support in image quality and safety.
Magnetic resonance imaging equipment has developed significantly since its inception. Field strength increases and technology development increase the complexity of the equipment and the need for medical physics and MRI scientist support. This talk will briefly introduce the developments that have taken place and discuss the impact that this development has had on testing and support.
