Q

Which of the following are important in an MRA sequences to minimise the loss of signal due to dephasing within a voxel?
A) long TR
B) low frequency matrix
C) long TE
D) small voxels

A

C) Long TE
In magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), TE stands for Echo Time, a term referring to the time from the application of the radiofrequency pulse to the peak of the echo signal in MRI. A shorter TE time (short TE) helps reduce signal loss because it minimizes the period during which dephasing can occur within a voxel, thus preserving more of the signal.
