When imaging the spine, to rule out metastatic lesions of the spinal cord,
contrast enhancement is used with T1 weighted images because:
A. CSF is bright and cord is dark

B. 857 ms
C. 1024 ms
D. 1223 ms - ANS ✓857 ms
If the heart rate is 70 beats per minute, the R-R interval (effective TR)
would be calculated as such: 60,000 milliseconds (60 seconds per minute,
and there are 1000 milliseconds per second) ÷ 70 (heart rate) which = 857
milliseconds TR.
