| Sumario: | MRI radiographer plays a crucial role in MRI imaging, ensuring that high-quality images are obtained for accurate diagnosis. Hence, MRI education in radiography must contain both theoretical and practical knowledge to train the students before attending their clinical attachments and working as MRI radiographers. Current MRI education in radiography relies on conventional education using slides and photographs which is insufficient to deliver the complex physics concepts and abstract imaging principles in MRI imaging. Another challenge faced by radiography students is the gap between theory and practice due to inadequate exposure to certain specialized MRI procedures due to inadequate practical sessions as access to the facility is limited. Multiple MRI e-learning has been developed to enhance learning experiences in MRI education. However, most available MRI e-learning modules focus on the physics principles for MRI physicists and image evaluation for radiologists, which would be challenging for radiography students to grasp the content and apply it in the radiography field. e-learning MRI modules were developed specifically to meet the needs of radiography students using freely available software. This module provides a comprehensive and interactive learning experience by making the complex concepts in MRI more understandable and providing a more immersive and interactive environment allowing radiography students to understand the principles, techniques, and applications of MRI. Students can learn through video-based animation of basic MRI scanning principles and scanning procedures, multiple MRI images, and case-based studies to equip them with the required theory and practical skills. This e-learning module also incorporates virtual reality (VR) technology to simulate real MRI environments, providing hands-on experience without physical MRI machines. This e-learning approach is in line with the needs of the current generation and the fast-approaching industrial revolution 4.0.
