MRSO EXAM 2 NEWEST 2026 ACTUAL EXAM COMPLETE 300 QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
DETAILED ANSWERS/NEWEST UPDATE!!!
What is the name of the gradient coil used to produce sagittal and coronal images?
a. Transverse coil
b. Golay coil
c. Maxwell coil
d. Receiver coil - (Correct Answer)-b. Golay coil ("saddle coil")
Which of the following is able to handle the most RF heating?
a. elderly
b. adult
c. obese adult
d. neonate - (Correct Answer)-d. neonate
Which of the following techniques can be used to increase the echo spacing? Select all that
apply.
a. Increase the TR
b. Decrease receiving bandwidth
c. Increase receiving bandwidth
d. Use a receive only coil
e. Increase field of view
f. Increase flip angle - (Correct Answer)-b, e
Decreasing the receiving bandwidth will be lengthening the sample time. This may force us to
increase our TE as well as the TR. Increasing the field of view will also allow for longer echo
spacing.

The differences in magnetic field strength as you approach the MRI unit is termed what?
a. Spatial magnetic gradient
b. Gauss line
c. RF energy
d. Gradient coils - (Correct Answer)-a. Spatial magnetic gradient
Measured in dB/dx
Which of the following produce the greatest chance for peripheral nerve stimulation?
a. Conventional spin echo
b. Fast spin echo
c. Gradient echo
d. EPI - (Correct Answer)-d. EPI
A deflection of 45 degrees in a tested implant indicates that it deflects at a force equal to what?
a. 0.5 gravity force
b. 2 gravity force
c. 0.25 gravity force
d. 1 gravity force - (Correct Answer)-d. 1 gravity force
4T/m is equal to what?
a. 4000 G/cm
b. 4G/cm
, 3
c. 40 G/cm
d. 400 G/cm - (Correct Answer)-d. 400 G/cm
1T = 10,000 G
1m = 100 cm
Therefore, 1 T/m=10,000G/100cm
This means that 1 T/m=100 G/cm
How do we calculate the maximal spatial gradient?
a. dB/dx * B
b. dB/dt * W/kg
c. W/kg
d. B - (Correct Answer)-a. dB/dx * B
What group issued the ACR white paper MRI safety?
a. ACR Blue Ribbon Panel on MR safety
b. FDA
c. OSHA
d. EPA - (Correct Answer)-a. ACR Blue Ribbon Panel on MR safety
Which of the following is true of a gad contrast osmolarity?
a. Less than blood
b. Greater than blood
c. Less than water

4T/m is equal to what?
a. 4000 G/cm
b. 4G/cm
, 3
c. 40 G/cm
d. 400 G/cm - (Correct Answer)-d. 400 G/cm
1T = 10,000 G
1m = 100 cm
Therefore, 1 T/m=10,000G/100cm
This means that 1 T/m=100 G/cm
