second radio-frequency pulse. The flip angle of this radiofrequency pulse is: - ANSWER- 180 degrees
Of the following statements, which describes part of the basic
MR imaging process? - ANSWER- Radio-frequency signals
interact with hydrogen protons
Which type of electromagnetic coils correct inhomogeneities in
the main magnetic field? - ANSWER- Shim coils
Immediately after an initial 90 degree radio-frequency pulse is
turned off, the hydrogen protons will begin to: - ANSWERDephase
Tissues that are very efficient at Spin-lattice interactions near
the Larmor frequency, such as fatty tissues, should have: -
ANSWER- Low T1 values and produces hyperintense signals
T1 is the measurement of time for the longitudinal component of
the net magnetization vector to recover what percentage of its
original value after the application of a 90 degree radiofrequency pulse? - ANSWER- 63%
The tissue characteristic which depends more on the state (solid,
liquid, gas) of a tissue than any other factor is: - ANSWER- T2
effects
The basic process of MR signal generation contains two basic
steps, they are: - ANSWER- Stimulation and relaxation
The T1 Process is also known as: - ANSWER- Spin-Lattice
The T2 process is also known as: - ANSWER- Spin-Spin
Once in the main magnetic field, a majority of hydrogen protons

Magnetic resonance imaging is derived from the process known
as: - ANSWER- Nuclear magnetic resonance
The tissue characteristic that depends heavily on the relative
content of fat molecules and free water is: - ANSWER- T1
effects
Which type of receiver radio-frequency coil is placed close to
the patient's body for the purpose of imaging superficial
anatomic structures? - ANSWER- Surface coils
An equation derived to predict the MR signal intensity of a
particular tissue as a result of a spin-echo pulse sequence is the:
- ANSWER- Larmor equation
Which equation is true of the relaxation process? - ANSWERWithout the effects of T2 star, T2 decay continues
Because of the spinning motion of the hydrogen proton it has the
same properties as a bar magnet. The hydrogen proton's
spinning motion gives it a: - ANSWER- Magnetic moment
