Abstract
High image quality is an important goal in all aspects of radiography and MRI is no exception. The MR image produced should be an exact representation of the anatomical area being imaged and therefore the quality of the image will determine the diagnostic value of the procedure. However, in MRI the decisions the radiographer has to make are different from those encountered in conventional radiography. It is therefore essential to understand the interrelationship of the different parameters and the effect of these individual parameters on the resultant image. The whole selection process is in fact a compromise, the aim being to obtain the best-quality images containing the desired information in the shortest possible time. This chapter aims to explain the relationship between the different parameters and the types of decisions to be made when selecting them.
