Select all that apply. a. Increase the TR b. Decrease receiving bandwidth c. Increase receiving bandwidth d. Use a receive only coil e. Increase field of view f. Increase flip angle - Answer-b, e Decreasing the receiving bandwidth will be lengthening the sample time. This may force us to increase our TE as well as the TR. Increasing the field of view will also allow for longer echo spacing. The differences in magnetic field strength as you approach the MRI unit is termed what? a. Spatial magnetic gradient b. Gauss line c. RF energy d. Gradient coils - Answer-a. Spatial magnetic gradient Measured in dB/dx Which of the following produce the greatest chance for peripheral nerve stimulation? a.
