UCSF Bioengineering 241: Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy
Winter Quarter 2012 (January 11 - March 12, 2012); Time - MW - 2:00pm-3:30pm - QB3/Byers Hall, Room 215
Faculty: Drs. John Kurhanewicz, Dan Vigneron, Sarah Nelson, Sabrina Ronen, Susan Moyher Noworolski, Duan Xu, Peder Larson
Course Description: This course will cover a broad spectrum from basic MR physics to clinical applications of MR spectroscopy that provides noninvasive physiologic and biochemical information. The course will cover basic theory, underlying biochemistry and physiology, basic and advanced techniques for acquiring and processing MR spectroscopic data, and biomedical applications for this emerging medical imaging modality. Bio-engineering 240, which provides basics of conventional MR imaging, is not a pre-requisite but is advised.
