Study Notes
MRI Fundamentals
- Radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic radiation is used in MRI to produce the imaging signals.
MRI Sequences
- Steady-State Free Precession (SSFP) is a common MRI sequence; therefore, it is NOT the answer.
Magnetic Field
- The primary function of the strong magnetic field in MRI is to align the magnetic moments of hydrogen nuclei (protons) in the body.
MRI Examination
- The term for the process of moving the MRI table during the examination is "bolusing".
Magnetic Susceptibility
- Magnetic susceptibility causes distortions and artifacts on MRI images, particularly at interfaces between tissues with different magnetic properties.
