Short Description: This course covers the essentials of interpreting MRI images in clinical settings, with a focus on brain anatomy, the use of brain atlases, and MRI diagnostics for brain diseases. Students will learn to identify key anatomical structures, utilize brain atlases for reference, and recognize MRI patterns associated with various neurological conditions.

Target Audience: Healthcare professionals, (bio)medical (technology) students, and clinicians seeking to enhance their skills in interpreting MRI brain images in clinical settings.

Prerequisites: Basic knowledge of human anatomy and familiarity with medical imaging concepts; prior experience with CT or MRI interpretation is beneficial but not mandatory.

Course Objectives:

1. Develop the ability to identify key anatomical structures on brain MRI scans.
2. Recognize and interpret MRI patterns associated with common and complex neurological conditions, including tumors, dementia, and inflammatory diseases.
3. Gain practical experience in neuroimaging interpretation through case-based and hands-on learning.
