The course covers basic Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Ultrasound theory, practical applications and hands on experience. It will give you a broad understanding of Magnetic Resonance Imaging and of Ultrasound.
You will be in the advantageous position of learning in an environment that was pivotal in the early development of Magnetic Resonance Imaging and continues to contribute to its development.
The lecturers will be academics and clinical scientists who are leading researchers, to ensure the course content is rooted in today’s best practice and science.
Information on contact teaching time is available from the course guide.
