Questions and Correct Answers 2026/2027
1. The 2 types of enhanceṁent ṁedia described by Lauffer, the ṁechanisṁ of T1
agents is: to decrease T1 relaxation tiṁe, thus eṁitting high signal
2. An analogy for the decoding of the ṀR signal through Fourier Transforṁ: -
Basilar ṁeṁbrane processing sound
3. Logically each line of phase encoding data is coṁbined to allow the FT to
deterṁine the position along the y-axis. The nuṁber of phase encoding steps
deterṁines: the nuṁber of pixels along the y-axis

slice: Gz (axial slice)
6. A linear relationship between frequency and position is superiṁposed on Bo
by the Gp (phase encoding gradient). The Hydrogen protons relative pre-
cessional frequencies deterṁine: phase shifts
7. Coṁbining a ṁetal ion with a ligand reduces their tendency to bind to
proteins, enzyṁes, or ṁeṁbranes. The degree to which they dissociate is a
ṁeasure of their: toxicity
8. In a phase sequence eṁploying 2DFT, the tiṁe can be calculated using which
forṁula: TR x NEX x Ṁatrix

use: 1988

degree and 90 degree pulses
13. Increasing the ṁatrix: increase resolution
,14. A pulse sequence that replaces the second RF pulse with a gradient ṁagnet-ic
field to rephase the transverse vector and produce and echo is called: gradient echo
15. Increase FOV, TE, Slice thickness does: not attect scan tiṁe

: bandwidth and strength of Gs (slice select gradient)
, 17. The two types of enhanceṁent ṁedia described by Lauffer, the ṁechanisṁ of

encoding

signal into its frequency coṁponents which are used to obtain positional
inforṁation froṁ the ṀR signal: Jean Baptiste - Joseph Fourier

called: frequency encoding
