What does MRI stand for?
Magnetic Resonance Imaging
True or False: T1-weighted images provide better contrast for fat than T2-weighted images.
True
Fill in the blank: T2-weighted images are particularly useful for visualizing _______.
fluid
What sequence would you use to best visualize edema?
T2-weighted sequence
Which MRI sequence is known for highlighting differences in tissue density?
T1-weighted sequence
True or False: Fat appears bright on T1-weighted images.
True
What is the primary advantage of using FLAIR in MRI?
It suppresses the signal from cerebrospinal fluid.
Which MRI sequence is often used to evaluate brain lesions?
T2-weighted sequence
Multiple Choice: Which tissue characteristic is best visualized in T1-weighted images? A) Water B) Fat C) Muscle D) All of the above
B) Fat
What does the term ‘echo time’ (TE) refer to in MRI?
The time between the delivery of the radiofrequency pulse and the receipt of the echo signal.
True or False: T1-weighted images are less sensitive to changes in water content compared to T2-weighted images.
True
Fill in the blank: In a T2-weighted image, _______ appears bright due to its high water content.
edema
What is the purpose of using contrast agents in MRI?
To enhance the visibility of certain tissues or abnormalities.
Multiple Choice: Which of the following is NOT a common MRI sequence? A) T1 B) T2 C) CT D) FLAIR
C) CT
What does the term ‘repetition time’ (TR) indicate in MRI?
The time between successive radiofrequency pulses.
True or False: T2-weighted images are better for detecting tumors than T1-weighted images.
True
Which MRI sequence has the shortest echo time?
T1-weighted sequence
Fill in the blank: In T1-weighted images, water appears _______.
dark
What is the primary characteristic of fat on T1-weighted images?
It appears bright.
Multiple Choice: Which sequence is most sensitive to changes in tissue water content? A) T1 B) T2 C) Proton Density D) FLAIR
B) T2
What is the significance of the ‘short tau inversion recovery’ (STIR) sequence?
It suppresses fat signals to highlight edema.
True or False: The longer the TR, the greater the T1 weighting of the image.
False
What type of MRI sequence would be used for musculoskeletal imaging?
Proton Density-weighted sequence
Fill in the blank: In T1-weighted images, _______ appears dark due to its low density.
water
