MRI Physics
Across
- 2. Fluid attenuated inversion recovery
- 4. Shortens T1 (T1 bright)
- 6. Improves magnetic field homogeneity
- 7. voxel volume x sqrt(NEX/receiver bandwidth)
- 8. Uses fast GRE or EPI
- 9. Number of excitations
Down
- 1. Rapid shutdown of magnet in emergency
- 2. Focal brain activity -> decrease in deoxyhemoglobin
- 3. Less susceptibility artifact and field inhomogeneity than other fat suppression techniques (good with metal)
- 5. FOV too small (under sampling)
