MRI in Practice: Ch 5 Pulse Sequences Flashcards
Which of the following is not a spin echo pulse sequence?
a. conventional spin echo
b. fast or turbo spin echo
c. inversion recovery
d. echo planar imaging
d. echo planar imaging.
It is a gradient echo pulse sequence
What type of pulse sequence uses a 90° excitation pulse followed by one or more 180° rephasing pulses?
a. conventional spin echo
b. coherent gradient echo pulse
c. inversion recovery
d. steady state free precession
a. conventional spin echo
IR has a 180° pulse before the 90° pulse then in followed by one or more rephasing pulses

d. PC MRA
c. ACD
Areas of low signal on the ADC images indicate ‘restricted diffusion’
