The TREX MRI system produces cross-sectional images:
Anatomical Region: General body anatomy, including head, spine, torso, and extremities
Nucleus excited: ¹H nuclei (Proton)
Diagnostic uses: Images correspond to the distribution of ¹H nuclei exhibiting nuclear magnetic resonance, with image intensity dependent upon NMR parameters, including
- spin-lattice relaxation time (T1)
- spin-spin relaxation time (T2)
- density of nuclei (ρ)
- flow velocity
- chemical shift (δ)
Clinical use: Images may be interpreted by a trained physician to yield information that can be useful in the determination of a diagnosis.
RF Coils:
Head - quadrature
Cervical Spine - quadrature
Lumbar Spine, Thoracic Spine, and Abdomen - quadrature
Knee - linear
Image Acquisition
Spin Echo
Gradient Echo (GE, RGE)
Fast Spin Echo (FSE)
Fast Dual Echo (FDE)
3D Fast Gradient Echo (3DGE, 3DRGE)
Inversion Recovery with Fast Spin Echo (FSE STIR, FSE FLAIR)
