Thorax
There will be three questions on imaging procedures for the thorax in the advanced-level examination for MRI. These will cover the following areas
- Brachial plexus
- Cardiovascular
- Breast
Q69 To minimize pulsatile flow motion artifacts, cardiac images are acquired by:
| (a) | Taking the patient’s pulse, calculating the heart rate in beats per minute, then entering this data into the imaging system |  |
| (b) | Attaching ECG leads, monitoring the cardiac cycle and triggering the pulse sequence from each R wave |  |
| (c) | Performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation |  |
| (d) | None of the above |  |
Q70 Image 8 was acquired in the:
| (a) | Axial imaging plane |  |
| (b) | Sagittal imaging plane |  |
