MRI 😊

Question 1

An interstitial inflammatory reaction that can lead to severe induration, contracture of the extremities, fibrosis of internal organs and death as result GBCA exposure

Answer 1

Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis

Question 2

Contrast agent used in CMR imaging

Answer 2

GBCAs - gadolinium-based contrast agents

Question 3

This hypertrphic segment is often missed in echocardigraphy compared to CMR

Answer 3

Basal anterolateral wall

Question 4

It has an advantage over Echo of assessing the reduction in septal thickness from surgical myectomy or alcohol septal ablation

Answer 4

CMR

Question 5

Has a predisposition toward ventricular arrhythmia that precedes overt morphologic abnormalties and even histologic substrate

Answer 5

ARVC - arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy

Question 6

3 main morphologic components of myocarditis

Answer 6

1. myocardial eddma by T2 weighted imaging
2. regional hyperemia and capillary leak by early gadolinium enhancement ratio
3. myocardial necrosis or fobrosis by LGE imaging

Question 7

involvement of subepicardium and midmyocardium of the inferolateral wall myocarditis is associated with this type of virus

Answer 7

Parvovirus

Question 8

Septal wall myocarditis is associated with this type of virus

Answer 8

Herpesvirus 6

Question 9

Tissue edema, noncaseating granulomatous infiltration and patchy myocardial fibrosis in CMR

Answer 9

Cardiac sarcoidosis

Question 10

Circumferential pattern of LGE involving the LV and even thr RV subendocardium in CMR

Answer 10

Cardiac amyloidosis

Question 11

T2 less than 20msec in a patient with thalassemia major

Answer 11

Iron overload cardiomyopathy

Question 12

Myocarditis caused by Trypanozoma cruzi

Answer 12

Chagas disease

Question 13

A diastolic noncompacted to compacted thickness ratio of more than 2.3 measured in long axis view

Answer 13

LV noncompaction

Question 14

Characterized by a transient contractile dysfunction of apex, caused by elevated catecholamines from severe emotional or physical stress

Answer 14

Trasient LV apical ballooning syndrome or Takotsubo cardiomyopathy

Question 15

Endomyocardial disease considered as the result of direct toxic effects of eosinophils on the myocardium

Answer 15

Endomyocardial fibrosis AND Loeffler endocarditis

Question 16

Hallmark of Loeffler endocarditis

Answer 16

Hypereosinophilia

Question 17

It is the current test of choice in differentiating constrictive perocarditis from restrictive cardiomyopathy, based on assessing oerocardial thickness and comstrictive physiology from pericardial disease and the pattern of any myocardial infiltation from restrictive cardiomyopathy

Answer 17

CMR

Question 18

Provides information regarding cellular metabolism

Answer 18

Magnetic resonance spectroscopy

Question 19

MRI is based on the abundance of this ion in humans

Answer 19

Hydrogen

Question 20

A radiofrequency pulse can tip the nuclear spins away from the z axis, which leaves the 1H nuclear magnetic moments processing at a characteristic frequency

Answer 20

Larmor frequency

Question 21

Used for morphology of cardiac chambers, vascular structures, perocardium and imaging of fat

Answer 21

T1 weighted FSE
