QUESTIONS AND CORRECT DETAILED ANSWERS |ALREADY
GRADED A+(Newest Version 2025/2026)
What is one of the most important things to visualize in imaging
the TMJ and is also one of the hardest?-ANSWER-The meniscus
What is the positioning for TMJ imaging?-ANSWER-Head first
supine while using a SURFACE coil. An alternative is to use a
small round coil in conjunction with the head coil. Another
alternative is a bilateral dedicated TMJ coil.
Centering is directly on the joint. We can palpate the location of
the TMJ and make sure the interpupillary line is strictly
horizonal and perpendicular to the long axis of the body.
What is a typical protocol for TMJs?-ANSWER-*Physiological
triggering and gating and flow compensation and sat bands are
NOT necessary.

T one transverse localizer images. (From this position slices
perpendicular to the articular condyle, which often yeilds
oblique images.) You can image TMJ with both mouth open and
mouth closed. Another method that is used by some facilities is
cine mode, which images the TMJs in motion.
What is the centering point for MRI shoulder?-ANSWER-An inch
or two below the AC joint.
What kind of SAT band is used to reduce respiration motion
artifacts?-ANSWER-Oblique Sat bands (helps reduce artifacts
coming from the chest wall, the heart, and flow in the axillary
artery.
What is a typical protocol for imaging the shoulder? -ANSWER-T
one coronal localizer
T two transverse (provides a great view of the glenoid labrum)
Coronal oblique views parallel to supraspinatus muscle and
tendon. (Ideal for imaging the rotator cuff)T one and two sag.
oblique (to visualize the rotator cuff in cross sections)
Rotator cuff tears have __________ signal on a T one and
_________ signal of T two.-ANSWER-Intermediate

Increased
Magic angle artifact may appear to a tear on what type of
images?-ANSWER-T one weighted and PD images.
What is the ideal positioning of the patient for imaging of the
elbow?-ANSWER-Prone with her arm over her head.
What is a typical protocol for MRI elbow?-ANSWER-Sagittal
localizer (in order to demonstrate long lengths of muscle and
bone on a single image) *Humerus, radius, ulna, and radial
head will be demonstrated.
T one sagittal images may be acquired for a similar purpose
Transverse T one and T two images.
Scanning usually occurs in the direction from the humerus to
the radius and ulna.
How would you center for imaging the wrist?-ANSWER-
Centering would be in the middle of the wrist. Patient's head
should be positioned so that the wrist is kept parallel to the
patient table.
