=========================

Once flipped into the transverse plane by the radiofrequency pulse the net magnetisation vector starts to lose the transverse magnertisation. This loss is primarily due to spins dephasing over time (a proportion of transverse magnetisation loss is due to spins aligning with the main magnetic field). Dephasing occurs due to spin-spin interaction and transfer of energy. The time taken to lose 63% of the transverse magnetisation vector is known as the T2 constant. In reality the measured signal loss is faster due to magnetic field inhomogeneities. This decay time is known as free induction decay/ T2* decay. We will examine how using a spin echo pulse sequence can account for this loss of signal. We will also illustrate how changing TE (time of echo) will enhance or negate T2 relaxation differences in tissue and ultimately determine the T2 contribution to contrast in the image.

Not sure if the question banks are for you?
If you're here, you're likely studying for a radiology physics exam. I've spent the last few months collating past papers from multiple different countries selecting the most commonly asked questions. You'll be surprised how often questions repeat themselves!

The types of questions asked in FRCR, RANZCR AIT, ARRT, FC Rad Diag (SA), ABR qualifying Core Physics and MICR part 1 are surprisingly similar and the key concepts remain the same throughout. I've taken the most high-yield questions and answered them in video format so that I can take you through why certain answers are correct and others are not.

Happy studying,
Michael
