Module 10 – MR Image Formation and Imaging Techniques

  • Describe the two fundamental pulse sequence categories
  • Explain the time parameters TE and TR
  • Discuss how the flip angle affects image appearance
  • Describe how images can be enhanced with the use of contrast agents
  • Describe how 2D and 3D images are generated using gradient magnetic fields
  • Explain the concepts of k-space and Fourier transform
  • List several additional imaging techniques and their contrast properties
  • Describe how these techniques differ from conventional spin echo and gradient echo pulse sequences
