WEEK 3 KNOWLEDGE CHECK
CERTIFICATION REVIEW 2026 COMPLETE
GUIDE GRADED A+
⩥ This MRA technique takes advantage of signal differences between
moving spins perpendicular to the slice/slab:
Answer: Time of Flight (TOF)
⩥ What sequence produces Black Blood MRA images?
Answer: Spin Echo TOF
⩥ Vortex flow is usually seen after a narrowed area in a vessel (called a
stenosis).
Answer: true
⩥ Abnormal loss of flow void is seen here in the:
Answer: Transverse sinus
⩥ Plug flow is shown above.
Answer: false
, ⩥ Bright Blood GRE MRA techniques can be very adversely affected by
motion.
Answer: true
⩥ Spin Echo TOF works best when:
I. Blood is flowing perpendicular to the slice.
II. Blood is flowing fast.
III. Thick slices are used.
IV. TE is long.
Answer: I, II, IV only
⩥ Multiple Overlapping Thin Slice Acquisition requires a longer scan
time than a 2D acquisition.
Answer: true
⩥ This image demonstrates why SE sequences produce 'black blood'
TOF MRA
Answer: true
⩥ These images were produced without IV contrast.
Answer: true
