Technique Overview
Advanced MRI techniques include diffusion, perfusion, and spectroscopy. These methods provide functional and metabolic information. Students learn how they expand diagnostic capability.
Diffusion Imaging
Diffusion imaging measures water movement in tissues. It is valuable for stroke and tumor evaluation. Students explore how diffusion maps are interpreted.
Perfusion Imaging
Perfusion imaging evaluates blood flow. It helps assess ischemia and vascular abnormalities. Understanding perfusion supports clinical decision making.
Spectroscopy
MR spectroscopy analyzes chemical composition. It provides metabolic insights for neurological and oncologic conditions. Students learn how spectra are interpreted.
