Introduction to Neural Imaging Flashcards
scan that produces images of the CNS in sections that have a reasonably high resolution with differentiation of grey & white matter structures
MRI
2 primary types of MRI’s
- T1 - fast resonance
- T2 - fast resonance
fields are enhance by radio frequency pulse
T1 - fast resonance (MRI)
fields are canceled by radio frequency pulse
T2 - slow resonance (MRI)
