Spatial Resolution and All 3 Dimensions with Matt Rederer

Check out the Video ---> Spatial Resolution: https://youtu.be/_rtqLdWvK2I
Matt helps to describe the concept of spatial resolution in MRI terms. In MRI, spatial resolution is defined by the size of the imaging voxels. Since voxels are three-dimensional rectangular solids, the resolution is frequently different in the three different directions. The size of the voxel and therefore the resolution depends on matrix size, the field-of-view, and the slice thickness.

Resolution is the ability of the human eyes to distinguish one structure from another. In MRI the resolution is determined by the number of pixels in a specified FOV. The higher the image resolution, the better the small pathologies can be diagnosed. Resolution is directly proportional to the number of pixels (The higher the number of pixels the greater the resolution). The pixel size can be calculated by dividing the field of view by the matrix size

About our Guest:
Matt is the President of RITE Advantage LLC.  A company focused on educating and testing MRI, CT, Sonography, and Radiography students and technologists. The lead MRI technologist and a certified MR Safety Officer at Advocate Sherman Hospital. Matt is also the MRI/CT Physics Professor at Elgin Community College. 

Matt’s very knowledgeable at MRI physics which is the fundamental factor for image acquisition. So in addition to tricks and tips learned from coworkers, Matt stresses the importance of understanding how to optimize the image you’re acquiring by means of physics. Matt appreciates the artistic influence that naturally comes with photography. If you understand what’s happening on the back end in terms of k space etc., then you can be the creator of new tips and tricks to share with your coworkers and team.

About our Sponsor:  
Aegys is an innovative leader in the MRI safety industry and the Creator of The TechGate Automatic.
Aegys is committed to providing innovative product and process solutions that enhance overall magnet safety and improve efficiency.  TechGate Auto is a Zone 4 Barrier System that keeps patients and MRI technologists safe.  TechGate Auto allows technologists to focus on the care of patients and efficient room turnaround rather than worrying about anyone entering the MRI room behind them. Easy to use and designed for the MRI environment, TechGate Auto is deployed whenever the technologist enters or leaves the MR room or via push button remote control, providing an immediate physical restriction of access to all unauthorized individuals.

The use of a “caution” barrier at the entrance to the MR room is now a recommendation of the American College of Radiology MR Safety Committee.
