Body MRI 4 wks 2 Rotation: Rotation Duration: Institution: Stanford Call Responsibility: Triage Night(s): covered by fellow Responsible Faculty Member(s): Location: SUH, Blake Wilbur Shreyas Vasanawala MD, PhD, section Robert Herfkens, M.D. Numbers: Bruce Daniel, M.D. Hospital Reading Room: Frandics Chan, M.D., Ph. D. 332-4MRI Brooke Jeffrey, M.D. Technicians Telephone Numbers: Graham Sommer, M.D. Hospital: 723-7315 or 723-6335 Aya Kamaya, M.D. Blake Wilbur scanner: 736-2061 Terry Desser, M.D. BWMR1: 725-8645 Juergen Wilmann, M.D. BWMR2: 736-2060 Lewis Shin, M.D. Sherman Ave: 721-3373 Technologists/Technical Staff: Training Level: Claudia Cooper, MRT Technical Coordinator Second and 3rd or 4th years Teresa Nelson, MRI Technical Supervisor Goals & Objectives The goal of the Body MRI rotation is to give the resident experience in selecting MRI protocols, supervising performance of MRI and interpreting MRI studies of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis. Rotation 1: Medical Knowledge By the end of this rotation, the resident will be able to: Determine the type of contrast weighting present in MR images. Understand the mechanisms that generate T1, T2, and contrast-enhanced images. Understand the principles of fat saturation and chemical-shift based imaging Recognize the most common artifacts in body MRI Recognize normal abdominal and pelvic MRI anatomy and contrast. Patient care Knowledge Based Objectives Distinguish MR compatible devices and equipment from incompatible devices Understand the clinical goal of each exam and select the correct imaging protocol Understand the rationale behind the protocol design Be able to premedicate and counsel claustrophobic patients Know gadolinium indications and contraindications Skills Protocol cases according to the clinical question and the indication for the study
