1. The effects of main magnetic field inhomogeneities on the FID signal are
corrected for in a Spin-echo sequence by applying a second radiofrequency
pulse. The flip angle of this radio-frequency pulse is: - ANSWER-180 degrees


2. Of the following statements, which describes part of the basic MR imaging
process? - ANSWER--Radio-frequency signals interact with hydrogen
protons


3. Which type of electromagnetic coils correct inhomogeneities in the main
magnetic field? - ANSWER--Shim coils


4. Immediately after an initial 90 degree radio-frequency pulse is turned off,
the hydrogen protons will begin to: - ANSWER--Dephase


5. Tissues that are very efficient at Spin-lattice interactions near the Larmor
frequency, such as fatty tissues, should have: - ANSWER--Low T1 values and

are: - ANSWER--Stimulation and relaxation


9. The T1 Process is also known as: - ANSWER--Spin-Lattice


10.The T2 process is also known as: - ANSWER--Spin-Spin

13.ANSWER--Nuclear magnetic resonance


14.The tissue characteristic that depends heavily on the relative content of fat
molecules and free water is: - ANSWER--T1 effects


15.Which type of receiver radio-frequency coil is placed close to the patient's

as a result of a spin-echo pulse sequence is the: - ANSWER--Larmor
equation


17.Which equation is true of the relaxation process? - ANSWER--Without the
effects of T2 star, T2 decay continues


18.Because of the spinning motion of the hydrogen proton it has the same
properties as a bar magnet. The hydrogen proton's spinning motion gives it
a: - ANSWER--Magnetic moment

concentrations of hydrogen appear very hypointense are: (RESEARCH THIS)
- ANSWER--Cortical bone and lung (RESEARCH THIS)


20.Magnetic susceptibility is defined as: (RESEARCH THIS) - ANSWER-Tendency
of a substance to attract or repel magnetic lines of force which is decided
by the magnetic properties of its electrons (RESEARCH THIS)


21.In comparison to Computed Axial Tomography, an advantage of MRI is: -
ANSWER--Superior soft-tissue contrast resolution


22.Fast transition phenomenon and entry phenomenon are theories that
explain which of the following tissue characteristics? - ANSWER--Velocity
effects
