MRI Flashcards
MRI Basic sequences are
- T1 weighted+contrast
- T2 Weighted
- Proton weighted
Fluids like CSF and ascites and most of the soft tissues appear hyperdense in which kind of MRI?
T2 basic sequence
The main difference between T1 and T2 is…
FLUIDS
In MRI, best to diagnose fat containing tumors is
STIR
Examples of inversion recovery sequence In MRI…
- FLAIR (Null Fluid)
- STIR (Null Fat)
Very fast MRI that can be used in Dynamic examinations like dynamic liver exam is
Gradient Echo
Excellent for fluid filled structures
عاوز أوضح الfluid
Heavy H2 weighted images
An example of Heavy H2 weighted images..
MRCP مركب
Based in measurement of the random motion of the water molecules in the inter cellular space “extracellular fluid” Brownian movement..
Diffusion weighted imaging
Restricted diffusion gives… signal while free diffusion gives…
- Rest. Gives high signal
- Free gives no signal like cysts and benign lesions
Explores the chemical composition of the tissue by markers of the disease…
Advanced MRS Spectroscopy
Perfusion imaging evaluate blood flow and vascularity used for grading tumors
