医学成像发展迅速，混合医学成像系统变得越来越普遍。结合了高分辨率磁共振成像（MRI）和正电子发射断层扫描（PET）的生理数据，MR-PET在医学诊断中给人留下了深刻的印象。这种新的混合系统的操作需要了解MRI和PET独立技术。MRPET的研究生证书是为核医学技术人员和放射诊断技师等专业人士设计的，他们需要对混合MRI扫描仪和PET扫描仪的理论基础和操作注意事项有更深入的了解。该计划的一个令人兴奋的功能是一周的校园出勤，学生可以操作MRI扫描仪，并在人类志愿者上练习扫描。
Advance your imaging expertise and be at the forefront of medical diagnosis. Medical imaging is developing rapidly and hybrid medical imaging systems are becoming more commonplace. Blending high-resolution Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and the physiological data of Positron Emission Tomography (PET), the operation of this new hybrid system requires an understanding of both the MRI and PET stand-alone technologies. This six month full-time (or part-time equivalent) program is designed for professionals such as nuclear medicine technologists and diagnostic radiographers who require a more in-depth knowledge of the operation of a MR-PET system, including hardware, software, preparation and calibration. You'll gain an understanding of MRI methodology and safety, patient preparation and screening, common clinical indications and MRI protocols used when imaging various parts of the human body. Plus you'll explore the use of contrast agents and the factors affecting the accuracy of MRI images. An exciting feature of this Graduate Certificate program is the one-week of on-campus attendance, where you can operate MRI scanners and practise scanning on human volunteers.
