Dr. Kanal is a wizard at teaching MR physics to both the technical and non-technical person. His experience is primarily with GE, although he does read from other vendors’ equipment.

This five-day course (M - F) is designed to give the attendee a deeper understanding of the basic physics and contrast mechanisms underlying the MR imaging process and how to apply them to a busy clinical practice. It also provides a thorough overview of MR angiography, diffusion weighted imag-ing, perfusion weighted imaging, and literally dozens of other clinical imaging techniques and parameters.

Dr. Kanal also utilizes his custom-developed computer program, Kanal’s MR Tutor ™ , a Macintosh-based MR simulator which is famous throughout the MR education and training community. With this tool, the student can apply “what-if” scenarios to scanning situations and MR images, and observe the effects of parameter changes in real time.
(Class size: 10 - 30 students)
