Ch 03 - Imaging Flashcards
1
Q
Black blood MR
A
No signal from rapidly flowing blood, normal signal in surrounding tissues
2
Q
ECG-gated partial Fourier fast spin echo
A
arterial flow is dark and venous flow is bright on T2
3
Q
Phase contrast MR
A
Measurement of phase shift of spinning protons at two time points
Provides directional and VELOCITY information
4
Q
Balanced SSFP
A
Bright blood depicted using ratio of T2 to T1 relaxation
Can be used with arterial spin labeling
