The MRI Spine credentialing course is designed to take a doctor from no knowledge of MRI's to being able to understand MRI physics, how to begin interpreting spinal MRIs. Our goal is to give you the tools and knowledge base to start the journey on becoming expert in interpreting spinal MRI. This comprehensive program is taught by "world-class" experts in the MRI community (see below), and gives you a direct contact with our professors as needed.
