MRI Imaging Techniques

Study Notes

The text discusses breast imaging and the importance of dynamic imaging and identifying lesions.
Biopsies can be done using a fiducial and a CAD system.
MRA imaging of the abdomen requires overcoming obstacles such as heart beating and patient breathing.
Gating is important for MRA imaging to avoid motion artifacts.
Test bolus and timing are crucial for optimal MRA imaging.
Centric and elliptical filling can improve MRA imaging quality.
The ascending aorta is a site of pathological processes and requires gated imaging.
Cardiac imaging is challenging but exciting for MRI technicians.
Every heart is slightly different and offers unique challenges.
The text emphasizes the importance of timing and technique for optimal imaging results.
The speaker is showing an axial view of the heart.
They are taking slices through the heart to show the left and right ventricles.
The septum is located in the middle.
The four chambers of the heart are visible in the short axis view.
The left ventricle is on the left side of the patient.
The right ventricle is on the right side of the patient.
The left atrium and right atrium are also visible.
The mitral valve is between the left atrium and left ventricle.
The tricuspid valve is on the right side of the heart.
The speaker also shows a two chamber view.
