The annual BIR UK MRI Course provides a high-quality, interactive learning experience, delivered through a mix of didactic lectures and interactive OsiriX-based workshops. This year will see a new line-up of topics covering physics, paediatrics, cardiovascular and body imaging. To gain the full educational experience, delegates are encouraged to attend all four days; however they can also book onto individual days. This course is suitable for radiologists, physicists and radiographers at all stages of their career. We welcome those in training or newly appointed, through to fully qualified and experienced practitioners.

Educational aims and objectives:

• Explain the basic underlying physics relevant to the presented clinical applications of MRI

• Illustrate and summarise the use of MRI in the routine clinical practice of paediatric, cardiovascular and body imaging

• Interpret and discuss case-based problems with experts in the field
