What is the name of the gradient coil used to produce sagittal

and coronal images?


a. Transverse coil


b. Golay coil


c. Maxwell coil


d. Receiver coil ......ANSWER........b. Golay coil ("saddle coil")


Which of the following is able to handle the most RF heating?

,age 2 of 47




a. elderly


b. adult


c. obese adult


d. neonate ......ANSWER........d. neonate


Which of the following techniques can be used to increase the

echo spacing? Select all that apply.


a. Increase the TR


b. Decrease receiving bandwidth


c. Increase receiving bandwidth


d. Use a receive only coil


e. Increase field of view

,age 3 of 47




f. Increase flip angle ......ANSWER........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 ......ANSWER........a. Spatial magnetic gradient


Measured in dB/dx

, age 4 of 47




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 ......ANSWER........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 ......ANSWER........d. 1 gravity force
