| Best pulse sequences for spinal cord demyelination? |
Small spinal cord lesions, even if clinically significant, can be due to the low sensitivity of some pulse sequences. Demyelinating lesions are better seen on STIR-FSE images, on which the number of lesions are significantly higher than on FSE, while the FSE and CSE images show approximately equal numbers of lesions.So as STIR-FSE has high sensitivity to demyelinating lesions,it can be considered quite specific and should be included in spinal MRI for assessment of suspected demyelinating disease.

Hi
I am new to this forum. I am working in a private company as a service engineer for general machines. I would like to switch to MRI as my specialised field. Need your advices on my aspect.
how can i start my career with MRI.
looking forward to hear from you all soon !!!!!....

| ARMRIT to ARRT pathway - - - HELP |
Kevin Patana, in 2008, asserts that ARMRIT is "not misleading people," which is technically true. There may be imaging centers in one of the regions he mentions (MN) who are hiring ARMRIT certified techs. If anyone who browses this forum is able to demonstrate even one center for which that is true, it would come as a breath of fresh air. MRI School of Minnesota is one program in the Twin Cities area turning out ARMRIT certified techs. Despite hopeful attempts by these graduates, nearly all of us have not found jobs in the field of MRI. Center For Diagnostic Imaging (CDI), St. Paul Radiology, and Regions Hospital have all submitted in writing that they are not considering ARMRIT certification adequate for hire at their centers. One reason they cite is that their techs need to be (RT) in order to be "multi-modality." During my interview with St. Paul Radiology recently, I was courteously informed that I could not be considered a "tech" in the sense they were using in their job description. Scant experience with venipuncture, total unfamiliarity with MRI School Of MN and ARMRIT, and the need for multi-modality techs were the stated reasons in my face-to-face meeting with them.rnOn a positive note, ARMRIT techs are being hired somewhere--and one graduate of the school who was already employed at an imaging center was promoted to MRI tech, although this tech claimed to be "constantly challenged about [his/her] certification" and aptitude in the field. rnOne question leveled to me in my interview at St. Paul Radiology was, "Why didn't you go to Century/Argosy? (The established ARRT diploma vendors in our area.) I found myself ill-prepared to defend the ARMRIT, only referring to ACR certification, which elicited blinking stares. rnOthers have sought to supplement their ARMRIT certification with local X-ray certificate add-ons.rnWe hope that with further education of the public and local imaging centers, techs may 'break in' to the field, making the ARMRIT certificate more recognized and legitimized. At present, however, it serves as a $16,000 rectangle of parchment with one side blank for a grocery list.

| 6-1.5T MAGNETS, DIFFERING GRADIENTS |
Thank you for your logical advice. Just spoke with GE apps. "No amount of messing with MR parameters can compensate for weak gradients. Increased gradient strength=decreased echo spacing=less blurring". Coincidently, my DO just emailed me asking what the gradient strength is on the magnet the RADs are complaining about.Just MAYBE they'll upgrade it. I need to visit our sites.The only way I have to check other sites' parameters is importing exams from PACS to my modality console. Tedious, but telling. Again, thankyou for all the help.

Thanks so much for the input. NOBODY in my group seems to have a handle on why images vary in quality from 8 different magnets. I'm being pressed to take position of imaging specialist and thru my own research we have gradient strengths from 50 slew rate up to 120. Radiologists complain neuro stinks on the 50 slew rate 1.5T magnet and it is the most pounded on magnet in our group doing hospital inpatients. So many variables including tech expertise.
