advanced imaging final 3 MRI

        Help!  

Question
Answer
Raymond Damadian   reported NMR differences between normal tissue and tumors in 1971  
🗑
Paul Lauterbur   produced the first MRI  
🗑
1984   first clinical use of MRI  
🗑
In what plane does an MRI image?   any, multi-planar  
🗑
What produces the image in MRI?   nucleons and spin  
🗑
What role do electrons play in MRI?   none  
🗑
How does a nucleon spin cancel out?   there must be two nucleons spinning in opposite directions  
🗑
What happens when there is an extra nucleon whose spin is not cancelled?   there is a net spin  
🗑
How is an image picked up with MR?   the body must have net spin, creating a charge, this charge creates a magnetic field.  
🗑
What is the target atom for MRI?   Hydrogen  
🗑
Magnetic field strength for MRI   1 Tesla, 10,000 Gauss  
🗑
Current MRI magnet strength ranges:   .06 - 3.5 T  
🗑
What does MRI do?   line up dipoles  
🗑
Are the dipoles stationary after being lined up? What is this called?   no, Lamor wobble/frequency  
🗑
Lamor frequency formula   Hydrogen = 4.26 mHz / Tesla  
🗑
What causes the dipoles to flip?   RF signal at Lamor frequency  
🗑
Net magnetization   the pt becomes polarized  
🗑
Basic MRI signal:   FID – free induction decay  
🗑
In spin-lattice relaxation time (T1) pathology appears how?   black or grey  
🗑
In spin-spin relaxation time (T2) pathology appears how?   white  
🗑
4 ways we can pulse the RF signal:   partial saturation, spin-echo, gradient echo, inversion recovery  
🗑
MR patients should be screened for what?   pacemakers, ferromagnetic aneruysm clips, shrapnel/metallic objects, cochlear implants.  
🗑
When is the magnet turned off in MR?   never (unless unplugged for upgrade)  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
