MRSO Correctly Solved Exam |Question and Answers| UPDATED!!! Which of the following is true of a gad contrast osmolarity? a. Less than blood b. Greater than blood c. Less than water d. Equal to blood *Ans* b. Greater than blood (and greater than water) Which of the following is true if we increase the field of view from 200mm to 400mm? a. We reduce patient heating b. We use a stronger time-varying gradient magnetic field c. We use a weak time-varying gradient magnetic field d. We increase the patient heating *Ans* c. We use a weak time-varying magnetic field. Larger field of views will produce lower resolution exams. The size of the field of view is dependent on the frequency encoding gradient coil. When we increase the field of view, we decrease the amplitude of our gradient coil. When a T1 weighted image is taken of a vial of gad contrast, it will appear how? a. Bright b. Dark c. Gray d. Blue *Ans* b. Dark Active shield is performed how? a. Nothing is used with active shielding b. A magnetically conductive material surrounds the MR unit and this shapes and contains the magnetic field c. Bricks of permanent magnets are stacked around the MR unit to contain the fringe field d. A coil of wire in the MR unit has a current running through it which produces a magnetic field opposing the B0 *Ans* d. A coil of wire in the MR unit has a current running through it which produces a magnetic field opposing the B0. 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 *Ans* 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 *Ans* 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 *Ans* 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
