Episode notes
Join us for another episode in our Secret Lives series of podcasts, where we delve into the science behind some of the everyday tools and equipment we use in the field of vascular surgery. In this episode, we will be taking a look at what is probably one of the most fearfully complicated pieces of equipment out there, the Magnetic Resonance Imaging or MRI scanner. A true marvel of applied physics and engineering that combines super-conducting magnets and radio-frequency to produce some of the most detailed medical imaging available. We will also take a look at how MR angiography works and how to interpret those grainy MRA images. No need to get confused with those T1 and T2 imaging sequences anymore; All will be explained! With Justin Woolgar.
