The 3 basic orthogonal slice orientations are: transversal, sagittal, and oblique. 

To prevent motion artifact in a scan, the technologist can:

Coils that often encompass large areas of anatomy and yield a uniform signal (homogeneous) across the whole field of view are:

A device that has tested safe for a 1.5T magnet can be placed in a 3T. 

To reduce venous flow in an MRA Head, prescribe a saturation band ______________________ to the axial block.

Anatomic structures that have pertinence to each other are most likely to appear near each other on an image in the:

In the coronal plane, anatomy is scanned:

STIR sequences use a short TI (inversion time) and nulls signal from fat. FLAIR sequences use a long TI (inversion time) and nulls signal from CSF.

This complication arises when a non-vesicant drug seeps out of the vein into nearby tissue.

When you summarize something, you write or tell the general idea and only the most important points. It’s a skill that is used in classes, research, and at many jobs. These questions can help you to determine what is important in your reading and how you might organize your summary. Your summary will help you with the next portion of the assignment. Think of how you might organize your summary. What are the headings (questions in all caps) of the reading you just did? Those would be the main topics. Are there clearly marked ideas or terms that relate to the headings’ topic (subheadings)? How many are there? What are they? How does the reading explain the connection between the main topic and the concepts or terms? Use your own words to summarize what you just read, do not paraphrase (reorder the words of the text). This kind of summary is for you to more clearly understand the concepts you were introduced to; it is not a test.
