International CT Image Contest by Siemens

A meaningful activity in the CT arena is worth sharing with you all. Getting the highest possible CT image quality at the lowest possible radiation dose to benefit the patients is challenging. Radiation dose reduction is currently the focus of attention of both the physicians and equipment vendors. Check out the Siemens International CT Image Contest - "highest image quality at lowest dose".

Welcome to my MRI Blog

......................................................................................................

I started my career as a technologist in medical imaging in early 80's and have evidenced incredible changes in the field of medical imaging technology throughout these years in Hong Kong. My initial contact with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) dated back to 1995 when I set up the first MRI system in one of the major hospitals in Hong Kong. In 2000, I set off a new MRI service in another local regional hospital. As part of the continuing professional education, I attained my MSc with distinction in Medical Science (MRI) in 2004.

I love learning and transferring knowledge, so I decided to create this blog to share my MRI experience with those interested. I do hope that my writings can contribute in a small way to the MRI community by helping the newcomers to demystify the seemingly intriguing but complicated imaging technology.

Throughout this blog, assorted topics, mostly relating to the clinical applications of MRI will be covered. You will be directed to other websites for the relevant MRI physics through hyperlinks where appropriate. The materials posted will mainly be in keynote presentation format and are self-explanatory. You may click on any framed block of text or image to enlarge if you find the font size or images too small to read. If the MRI blog fails to provide you with the information you are looking for, or if you need further explanations on the entries posted, drop me a note and I'll try my best to help and elaborate.

For now, I would like to thank you for dropping by; and I hope that you will enjoy your time reading here. I appreciate any suggestions for the improvement of the blog. So please do leave your comments while you're here. Questions on MRI are also welcome.

Cheers
