The training path to improve the management and optimization of RM protocols
The first level University Master's Degree in "Magnetic Resonance Techniques in Clinical and Research Fields", the only one of its kind in Central-Southern Italy, is a post-basic training course that aims to train healthcare professionals capable of performing morphological and functional MRI diagnostics in healthcare and clinical research. The Master develops attitudes, knowledge and advanced skills in the management and optimization of basic and advanced MRI protocols to ensure continuous quality improvement with reference to the structural, technological and human resources of the Diagnostic Imaging operating units to which they belong.

Recipients and access requirements
Admission to the Master requires a first-level degree in the health area in Diagnostic Imaging Techniques and Radiotherapy.
Educational objectives
By the end of the course, students should be able to:
- transfer the knowledge and specialized skills acquired in the MRI rooms of clinical centers and bio-medical research institutes
- participate consciously in the risk assessment of the MRI examination
- optimize MRI investigation protocols and sequences and personalize the diagnostic exam on the patient
- recognize and correct artifacts in MRI
- process images obtained with advanced imaging techniques
- manage the diagnostic process in MRI and develop quality controls on processes
Final profile
The Master aims to train healthcare professionals capable of carrying out morphological and functional MRI diagnostic procedures in the field of assistance and clinical research.
Didactic structure and thematic areas
The course is structured in 6 thematic areas which include integrated forms of theoretical activities, individual learning and field experiences with a problem-based approach.
Thematic areas:
- MRI: hardware components and quality controls (2 modules)
- MR: From image to proton (3 modules)
- protocols and diagnostic pathways in MRI (7 modules)
- functional imaging in MRI (4 modules)
- MR image quality checks (1 module)
- the diagnostic process in MRI (3 modules)
At the end of each thematic area the student will have to pass an assessment test which may consist of a short written test (multiple choice learning questionnaire). Passing these tests will allow access to the final test which consists in the elaboration and discussion of a thesis. Classroom teaching will engage the participants for 20 meetings over the course of 12 months. The Master guarantees the acquisition of 60 credits (equal to 1500 hours).
Internship
The internship activities will be carried out at the JCI-accredited Diagnostic Imaging and Radiology UOC of the Campus Bio-Medico University Hospital, and at other healthcare companies. The internship, guided by tutors, will allow participants to acquire skills on equipment and management software from the main manufacturers. The internship will correspond to 30 credits.
Title awarded
I level University Master in Magnetic Resonance Techniques in Clinical and Research Fields. Recognition of training credits is linked both to regular attendance (compulsory for a total of hours of no less than 80% of the lessons and 75% of the traineeship activities), and to passing the ongoing and final tests.
