Links/Resources
Still need more specific information, or just surf around in the MRI universe? Some thousand MRI-related searchable links and resources, categorized in 'The Link/Resource Directory'. The search function and the classification are based on title, description, keywords and author of the page.
Artifacts
Special summary of artifacts with information and image guidance for each one. Case studies should help to improve imperfect images. Additional entries describe the general reduction of artifacts.
Contrast Agents
Classification and characteristics of contrast agents with an overview and information about the development stage, the developer, the field of application and the global distribution.
Coils
An overview for a general understanding about the different coil types and their uses. To choose the right coil, the best possible image quality, benefits and disadvantages are presented.
Sequences
More than 1oo pulse sequences from different MRI systems classified by the sequence type with detailed explanations, pulse sequence timing diagrams and range of applications.
Abbreviations
Around 800 MR-technology related shorthand notations, for example from sequences, organizations, and techniques with interpretations and links to the corresponding references.
Greeks
The decryption of the secret quality Greek signs - more than 2500 years old and still in use, - what they mean and where they appear in magnetic resonance technology.
Symbols
Significant characters used to represent a quantity, an operation, a relation, or an abbreviation. All MRI-related and with the corresponding reference to the database description.
Units & Measurements
Magnetic resonance related values or magnitudes adopted as units or standards in physical measurements, with definitions according to the international system of units as well as information for their conversion.
Acronyms
Migrating or converting? Manufacturers use different acronyms for example for the same or similar sequence or measurement option. Here is a comparison.
Devices
Provides information about the design and the hardware components of MRI devices, as well as advantages and disadvantages of the different field strengths. The overview classifies more than 50 MRI systems according to their field strength, range of application, construction and type of magnet. Database entries provide additional information ( manufacturer, picture, device information, specification table, links to manufacturer brochures, etc. ) for each device.
Images
MRI images and cine sequences from different examinations (brain, shoulder, knee, cardiac, breast etc). These images demonstrate different MRI sequences (SE, FSE, GRE, HASTE, STIR, T1, T2 weighted, etc.) in relation to the most frequent examinations. Adjustable brightness and contrast for best visibility; related database entries for further reading.
Sliders
MRI sliders allow you to scroll through sequences of slides. The images show anatomic structures of joints, maximum intensity projections (MIP) of magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) procedures, thin slices of the skull base etc.
MRI Safety
The MRI safety infosheet provides information about bioeffects of MRI procedures, hazards of magnetic forces, risks around the MRI environment, contraindications to MRI scans, precautions in pregnancy and proper patient management. Safety rules explain legal requirements and limits for safe handling of magnetic fields, gradient pulses and radio frequency energy. Other topics include MRI compatibility of implants, medical devices etc.
Poll Results
What is the 'Typical downtime of your scanning system per week (40 h)'?
You will find this and other results here.
Patient Information
This InfoSheet contains information you should read before your MRI examination. General MRI information with details about safety, risks, and contraindications, MRI side effects like claustrophobia, acoustic noise and incompatibilities of implants as cardiac pacemakers and stents, details about the most common examinations like brain MRI, spine MRI, body MRI, etc.
