MRI BOARDS, Anatomy protocol and pathology Study guide 2022

MRI BOARDS, Anatomy protocol and pathology study guide 1. The best view for the base of the tongue and the epiglottis is the:: Sagittal 2. The best view to evaluate patients with seizures is:: Coronal 3. When scanning patients to rule out brain tumors, the weighted images acquired to evaluate the extent of the lesion, after injection of gadolinium are:: T1 4. When imaging a patient with decreased consciousness, an area of high signal intensity is noted on both the T1- and T2 weighted images. The type of lesion is likely to be:: A hemorrhage (methemoglobin) 5. To best visualize the pituitary gland in MRI, the optimal planes for high-resolution T1-weighted images are:: Sagittal and coronal 6. The optimal plane(s) for high-resolution T1-weighted images of the internal auditory canals (IACs) include:: Axial & Coronal 7. On short TR/TE spin echo (or fast spin echo) imaging sequences, white matter appears:: Hyperintense to gray matter 8. The cranial nerves running through the internal auditory canals are:: VIII and IX 9. Typical diffusion images are typically acquired with a B-value of:: 1000 ms 10. For the evaluation of a patient with "tinnitus" images should be "centered" at the level of the:: EAM 11. For optimal imaging of the thyroid gland, patients are positioned:: Supine and local coils are placed on the anterior neck 12. When performing an MRA of the cerebral arteries, a saturation band should be placed ________ to axial slices:: Inferior 13. When using MRA to evaluate peripheral vascular flow, such as that within the arteries of the legs, saturation pulses are:: Placed inferior to the acquired slices 14. The cranial nerves associated with the optic nerve is the:: Second cranial nerve 15. The standard dose for gadolinium contrast media for imaging of the CNS is:: 0.1 mL/mmol 16. In patients who have undergone surgery for herniated disk in the lumbar spine, contrast enhancement can be used to distinguish recurrent disk for postoperative scar because:: Disk enhances more slowly than postoperative scar
