the following characterisitics: - answerVelocity effects
the effects of main magnetic field inhomogeneities on the FID signal are corrected for in
the spin echo sequence by applying a second radio frequency pulse. the flip angle of
this radio frequency pulse is: - answer180 degrees
of the following statements, which describes part of the basic MR imaging process: -
answerradio frequency signals interact with hydrogen protons
which type of electromagnetic coils correct inhomogeneities in the main magnetic field?
- answershim coils
immediately after an initial 90 degree radio frequency pulse is turned off, the hydrogen
protons will begin to: - answerDephase
tissues that are very efficient at spin-lattice interactions near the larmor frequency, such
as fatty tissues should have: - answerLow T1 values and produce hyperintense signals
T1 is the measurement of time for the longitudinal component of the NMV to recover
what percentage of its original value after the application of a 90 degree radio frequency
pulse? - answer63%

of a spin echo pulse sequence is the: - answerlarmor equation
which statement is true of the relaxation process? - answerwithout the effects of T2*, T2
