MR1BASICS is a 10-day course covering the fundamentals of Magnetic Resonance. Lecture topics include MR Safety, a historical review of MR, principals of MR imaging, and the typical hardware components of a MR system. Lab sessions are designed to complement the lecture. Lab activities include the handling and operation of current MAGNETOM MR systems. Typical imaging protocols and preparation adjustments for a measurement are discussed and demonstrated in the lab. An introduction to the service software and service routines is given. Common preventative maintenance procedures are discussed. This course is the prerequisite for the system training MR2AVANTO, MR2SYMHAR, MR2CONCERTO, MR2VISION, MR2IMPEXP, MR2MAG035, MR2JAZZ and any other MR modality.

Prerequisites: A working knowledge of digital and analog electronics, former experience with computer based systems and preferable service experience with electronic systems. The former participation of the MR2SYNGO course and the MRBASICS prestudy CBT course MR0BASICS with a final prestudy test grade of > 70%.

Who should attend?

Future CSEs for the MRI product service as a prerequisite for the classroom-based training course MR1BASICS.

Objectives:
Understand the basic principles and physics of MRI Understand the general Siemens safety guidelines and special MR safety guidelines according to the hazards of RF-, gradient and strong magnetic fields and the filling of magnets with cryogenic gases Understand and describe the basic components of an MRI system on a block diagram level General knowledge of the Siemens family of MRI scanners e.g. low field, high field and ultra high field systems Operate the MRI system and perform basic imaging Understand the preparation adjustments for imaging Understand the general difference to other modalities Understand Siemens customer service processes e.g. HSC, PS, SD, TC and policies, procedures e.g. order and return of spare parts, escalation procedures Perform general quality assurance measurements Understand the service software and perform general service diagnostics Understand the general use of service tools and test equipment Understand general preventive maintenance procedures

Outline (Lessons):
Safety guidelines, MRI safety The Siemens MR product line MR basics and physics T1, T2, T2*, proton density (PD) contrast Basic imaging protocols spin echo, gradient echo, inversion recovery, Influence of sequence parameters Patient related adjustments e.g. tuning, ADJ frequency, ADJ Transmitter, ADJ Receiver, 3D-Shim Functional principle of hardware components Processor configuration and operating software Measurement and control unit RF system e.g. transmitter and receiver Gradient system Magnet system, superconductivity, ramping theory, magnet monitoring, helium fill theory
