4 PULSE SEQUENCES
SPIN ECHO PULSE SEQUENCES
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Considered to produce the standard in T1 T2 contrast | The spin echo pull sequence |
Charts the timing of each event that occurs during an MRI exam | Pulse sequence timing diagram |
Charts the time at which the RF energy is transmitted and received and the time in duration of each gradient pulse | A pulse sequence timing diagram |
The first line in the spin Eco pulse sequence timing diagram usually consist of the events related to | The transmission of RF energy |
TE, is? | The time from the 90° RF pulse to the center of the spin echo |
The 180° RF pulse is applied? | Halfway between the initial RF excitation and the echo, or 1/2 TE |
Is applied to rephase the magnetization and allow a spin echo to be collected | A 180° RF pulse |
The second line of the pulse sequence timing diagram illustrates? | The timing of the received RF energy, in other words the MR signal. |
In spin Echo pulse sequence, the FID is formed? | Initially a free induction decay, or FID is formed but not sampled, the signal decays before I can properly specially encode |
One TE period After the 90° pulse, what is formed: | The spin echo forms( after the 180° RF pulse) one TE period after the 90° pulse |
The received RF line (pulse sequence timing diagram) indicates that the spin echo forms____? | The spin echo forms one TE. After the 90° pulse |
In order to restrict the external energies disturbance to a single slice what must happen? | The slice gradient must be turned on whenever the RF energy is being transmitted |
The slice select gradient is turned on whenever the ____ is being transmitted | RF energy |
Contrast information is specially localized within a selected slice through what two processes: | Frequency encoding and phasing encoding |
The amplitude of the readout gradient determines the range of frequencies encoded in the echo, known as the? | Receiver bandwidth |
True or false: the exact position of the phase encoding event, need not be as precise, as that of the slice select or read out gradients | TRUE |
Is generally turned on sometime between the 90° RF pulse and 180° RF pulse | The phasing encoding event, |
An important point is that each collected echo has a_____ amount of phase applied to it | Unique |
The TE period must have as many phase encoding repetitions per slice as the matrix has___? | phase lines |
The phase encoding gradient is depicted as a table of_____? | values. Indicating that it is applied at different amplitude each time the sequence repeats. Its position in time is not critical as other gradient events |
Phase is used to uniquely locate the____? | Position of the signal |
Each time a gradient is applied, a linear change in the magnetic field is created, causing a variation in the precessional frequencies of the protons net magnetization, and therefore creates: | Dispersion in phase. Phase dispersion is only allowed by the phase encoding gradient since phase is used to uniquely locate the position of the signal |
Extra gradient pulses in a slice and read out directions back to balance the positive and negative frequencies and can cancel the____? | Accumulated phase before the echo is recorded |
