    Study Notes

    MRI Sequences

    • Gradient echo and spin echo sequences differ in the way they handle magnetic field inhomogeneities.
    • Gradient echo sequences are more sensitive to magnetic field inhomogeneities, whereas spin echo sequences are less sensitive.

    T1 and T2 in MRI Sequences

    • The main difference between T1 and T2 is the relaxation time: T1 is the longitudinal relaxation time, whereas T2 is the transverse relaxation time.

    Creating a T1-weighted Image

    • Changing the repetition time (TR) in creating a T1-weighted image affects the contrast between different tissues based on their T1 relaxation times.
    • A shorter TR helps in creating a T1-weighted image, which is useful for identifying fat and normal tissues.

    T1-weighted Image

    • A T1-weighted image helps in identifying anatomy and morphology, particularly fat and normal tissues.

    Multiparametric MRI

    • A multiparametric MRI uses multiple parameters such as T1, T2, and diffusion-weighted imaging to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the imaged tissue.

    Spin Echo in MRI Sequences

    • The purpose of a spin echo in MRI sequences is to refocus the spin magnetization, which helps in reducing the effects of magnetic field inhomogeneities.
