THE PHYSICS PODCAST - Series 1 MRI - Episode 4 - All the echoes! Exploring the Basic Sequences in MRI

Welcome to EPISODE 4 of THE PHYSICS PODCAST from RADIOLOGY JAM - All the echoes! Exploring the Basic Sequences in MRI

This week we explore the basic MRI sequences.. All the echoes! what is spin echo? gradient echo? and spoiled gradient echo?

The FRCR Part 1 physics exam can be challenging for those new to radiology and medical physics. The aim of THE PHYSICS PODCAST by RADIOLOGY JAM is to cut through the jargon and ask those questions you wish you had! We are starting with the hardest topic first, the one that candidates find most challenging... MRI! To save us from the MRI spiral of doom is Medical Physicist Extraordinaire Joely Smith.

Joely Smith is an MR Physicist at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust and an Honorary Lecturer at Imperial College London. The team at Radiology Jam are so excited to welcome Joely, who manages to make complex concepts into digestible little nuggets with a sprinkle of fun! Join us! We promise you won’t be bored!
