Which of the following is able to handle the most RF heating?
a. elderly
b. adult
c. obese adult
d. neonate
✓ ~~> d. neonate

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
✓ ~~> 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

✓ ~~> 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
✓ ~~> 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

✓ ~~> d. 1 gravity force
4T/m is equal to what?
a. 4000 G/cm
b. 4G/cm
c. 40 G/cm
d. 400 G/cm
✓ ~~> 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
