MR Neuroimaging Study Day

The Hull MRI Study Group was formed to increase the number of opportunities for MR radiographers to attend high quality study days thereby increasing the knowledge of this  highly specialised diagnostic imaging workforce.

Hull MRI Study Group

We aim to give you the necessary knowledge so you can  acquire MR based advanced neuroimaging data with confidence at your own site

East Riding Medical Education Centre (ERMEC), Hull Royal Infirmary

<p>Come and join us for a day of MR Neuroimaging.</p><p>At this SoR CPD NOW endorsed event we will not only cover the basis of MR Neuroimaging techniques but we will aim to provide you with the necessary knowledge to implement these techniques at your own site. The goal of this study day is to focus on the needs of MR radiographers so that they will feel confident when using more advanced MR Neuroimaging techniques such as perfusion, DWI/DTI, SWI, and spectroscopy. Additionally, we will explore recent technological advances to allow imaging of challenging cohorts such as claustrophobic, moving, or paediatric patients. We will also discuss imaging of common neuro based active implants. All this for only £50 and you even get fed and watered!</p>
