This course is designed to give a better understanding of the advantages, and importantly, the limitations of CT and MRI for use in general practice. It will include a discussion of which cases would benefit more from a CT examination and which would benefit more from MRI.

Topics to be covered:

• Introduction and growth of CT and MRI in the human and veterinary field
• CT and MRI physics
• How to run a scanner
• Use of contrast in CT and MRI
• How to avoid CT and MRI artefacts
• Appropriate use of CT and limitations
• Appropriate use of MRI and limitations
• Case selection for CT and MRI

Learning objectives:

• Know how to run a CT and MRI scanner
• Know the use and limitations of CT and MRI
• Know when contrast is useful
• Know how to avoid CT and MRI artefacts
• Know how to select cases for MRI and C

This course is designed for general practitioners and advanced practitioners in general practice that would like to know more about the use of CT and MRI.  Candidates for the course should be interested in diagnostic imaging, and where advanced imaging may be useful for general practice patients.
