RDG 408: OTHER IMAGING MODALITIES II
History
• The requirements are that their nuclei should have spin and
should have odd number of protons within them. Hence
theoretically 13C, 19F, 23Na, 31P can be used for MR imaging.

• Allow spatial encoding for MRI images in the X,Y, and Z axis i.e
localization.

Radio-frequency Coils
The RF coils serve two purposes
• 4. Image formation—
• T2WI • MRS
• FLAIR • MT
• DWI • MRA
• ADC • MRV
T1-Weighted Imaging
• characterized by short TR and TE times.
