The learning outcomes of a tertiary (or advanced) level diagnostic imaging program focus on acquiring superior skills in the interpretation and clinical use of imaging techniques, including the integration of innovative technologies such as artificial intelligence.
Students should be able to manage, acquire, and analyze complex images generated by advanced tools, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Prerequisites for a Level 3 Diagnostic Imaging program include basic knowledge of physics, medical informatics, anatomy, and imaging techniques.
Familiarity with the principles of medical imaging and an understanding of the principles and contraindications to diagnostic tests.

MRI Safety: Basic Physical Principles, Magnet and Various Components, Radiofrequency and Gradient Coils, MRI Image Generation, Acquisition Techniques, Artifacts
Image Quality, 2D-3D Technique, Basic Imaging Sequences, MRI Examination
Protocols
