The main mechanism that contributes to T1 relaxation is:
A. ) molecular motion.
B. ) transverse dephasing.
C. ) changes in the applied field strength.
查看答案
Spin-spin relaxation is the irreversible dephasing of transverse spin vectors:
A. ) through magnetic field inhomogeneity.
B. ) through changes in echo times.
C. ) through interactions between individual spins.
The MRI signal originates:
A. ) from the emission of energy as the spins relax from the high energy state to the low energy state
B. ) from current induced in the receive coil by net magnetization precessing in the transverse plane
C. ) from current induced in the receive coil by magnetization relaxing along the Z-axis
