The concepts of the “Image Quality Triangle”, and the “Image Weighting Triangle” will be explained. The Technologist will better understand the various Geometric scan parameters and their effects on Signal to Noise, and Resolution. The student will better understand the structure of the various “line Diagrams” or PSDs, the order of events in a sequence and what makes each sequence unique. In addition, the attendee will have a better understanding and be able to perform/solve the various “math” problems that may be asked during advanced certification exams.
