What to expect for your MRI scan

Fully open MRI allowing standing, sitting and load bearing studies by Raymond Damadian’s FONAR company.

One for the children…

Not recommended for your MRI!

Nice bedside manner!

MRI Lectures

Unfortunately there is no Part 2 yet describing how Imaging works but this is a great explanation of basic Magnetic Resonance and how Contrast is generated….

A great tutorial by Miki Lustig
Some basic MRI sequences in clinical use
Different MRI contrast mechanisms
Some of the problems encountered with using MRI
How CT and MRI scans are interpreted
Lectures on the rapidly developing fields of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to intrepret MRI scans
Interesting talk on studying neonatal brain development using MRI
Registering in-Utero images to remove motion artifacts.
Great lecture on MR Spectroscopy
Kamil Urgubil on measuring brain function at a Gil Navon celebration
Quantitative MRI in extremity imaging
Image reconstruction with sparse data
More image reconstruction issues
MRI Fingerprinting – a new way to do quantitative MRI
Multi-Modality MR combined with radioactive tracer method Positron Emission Tomography (MR-PET)
High resolution brain structure and function from Bob Turner
Lung MRI by Peder Larson

MRI and Music

Guitar music as an analogy for the MRI process
Incredible classic music played using sound waveforms to drive the MRI gradients which act like loudspeakers
Incredible changes in the vocal tract when singing measured in real time using a fast imaging sequence
A fantastic demonstration of vocal changes with different singing styles – excellent voice too!
A beautiful rendering of a Brian Eno song ‘By This River’ from inside an MRI scanner – the singing and harp would be recorded outside the scanner due to the loud gradient noise!
