Strong magnetic field and Radiofrequency (RF) coils

• Imaging are created by the motion of hydrogen protons in response to the applied radiofrequency

• Multiplanar imaging [ axial, sagittal, coronal ]

• Any MR examination should include T1 and T2 Weighted images

Low signal lesion = hypointense = dark

High signal lesion = hyperintense = bright

Intermediate signal = isointense = Gray

Signal intensity

Page 37: BRAIN IMAGING CT & MRI - SSR Egypt · BRAIN IMAGING CT & MRI Mamdouh Mahfouz MD Professor of Radiology Cairo University ssregypt.com. Patient Preparation Patient position Technique

Identify T1 weighted images (CSF low signal) and T2 Weighted

images (CSF high signal)

Assess the signal intensity of the structure or lesion in both T1

and T2 weighted images

Follow the well known common signal behavior

How to interpret MR Images ?!

T1[low signal] T2[low signal]

[Non mobile protons]

Cortical bone

Mature fibrous tissue ( ligaments and tendons)

Calcifications ( physiological, pathological)

Flowing blood in the vessels ( fast moving protons) (signal void)

Air in the sinuses, lungs,…( minimal hydrogen protons) Others……..

Any structure or lesion not listed before

• Fluids ( CSF, urine, pleural effusion, ascites.,…)

• Edema and infarctions

• Most of tumors

• Contrast injection [ Gd- DTPA] ++

Gadolinium – DTPA 0.1 – 0.2 mmol/kg body weight

Only T1 weighted images are obtained after Gd- DTPA injection

Differentiate SOLs

Assess activity of some lesions like MS

Assess post operative tumour recurrence
