Course Overview

The Certification course on Fundamentals of Biomedical Imaging: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Online Course is taught by Rolf Gruetter, Professor, EPFL. This physics course introduces the Vivo bio-imaging modalities and the candidate learns about the physical principles of major in the same, focusing on the magnetic resonance imaging, popularly called an MRI.

In the initial part of Fundamentals of Biomedical Imaging, professors diligently describe the dynamic of spins as well explained through a magnetic field. This explanation leads to significant notions of magnetic resonance (MR), relaxation, and excitation. Further in this stage, the basic mechanisms of functional MRI, image reconstruction and MR spectroscopy will be discussed.

The next stage of Fundamentals of Biomedical Imaging: Training establishes an important link to life sciences. This is shown by theoretical and practical examples which exemplify how physics contributes towards life sciences and by learning how the prevailing physical principles surpass bio-imaging. Further, the student will learn the practicality of respective imaging modalities, their premise, use, limitations, and biological safety. EdX offers two varied tracks to pursue the self-paced programme; verified and free audit. In the verified mode, the students will be provided with unlimited access to the course and a certificate. In the free mode, the candidates will be allowed to audit the course for a limited duration.
