Q1 Which pulse sequence family forms the basis of most modern Diffusion-Weighted Imaging (DWI) acquisitions?
A Spin Echo
B Fast Spin Echo
C Echo Planar Imaging
D Inversion Recovery
Q2 Why should STIR never be performed after gadolinium contrast injection?
A Gadolinium shortens T1 of enhancing tissue potentially bringing it to the STIR null point
B Gadolinium increases T1 of enhancing tissue pushing it away from the null point
C Gadolinium causes chemical shift artifact mimicking fat on STIR images
D Gadolinium increases SAR to unsafe levels when combined with STIR
Q3 Why is Spin Echo more resistant to susceptibility artifacts than Gradient Echo?
A The 180-degree refocusing pulse compensates for static field inhomogeneities
B SE uses a smaller flip angle which reduces field distortion
C SE uses a shorter TE which reduces dephasing time
D SE fills k-space faster, leaving less time for dephasing
Q4 How does flip angle affect contrast in a Gradient Echo sequence?
A Larger flip angles near 70 to 90 degrees produce stronger T1 contrast by increasing saturation
B Flip angle has no measurable effect on GRE contrast, only on SE contrast
C Smaller flip angles produce stronger T1 contrast by saturating longitudinal magnetization
D Larger flip angles reduce T1 weighting by progressively limiting magnetization saturation
