What is Balanced FFE in MRI?
Balanced FFE (Fast Field Echo) is the Philips name for the bSSFP Balanced Steady State Free Precession MRI pulse sequence. It is very fast (thanks to powerful gradients which recycle the magnetization) and gives high signal images (thanks to spin-echo-like refocusing of magnetization). The generic contrast it yields is T1/T2; that is, fluids and fat appear brighter than other tissue.
What does the word sequence mean in a mri?
SEQUENCE help to control the amount of T1 or T2 contrast present in the image. Pulse sequences of the spin echo type, usually employs a 90° pulse, followed by one or more 180° pulses to eliminate field inhomogeneity and chemical shift effects at the echo. Caused by this 180° refocusing pulse, spin echo or fast spin echo (FSE, TSE) sequences are more robust against e.g. susceptibility artifacts than sequences of the gradient echo type.
Nuclei excited by an rf pulse?
Yes, a magnetic resonance imaging scanner uses an RF pulse to excite nuclei in the body. Practically all medical MRI scanners are tuned to excite hydrogen nuclei. Other MRI scanners used in physics and chemistry labs are tuned to excite other nuclei -- see the links for a detailed list.

Will my head be out of the MRI for an MRI of my tibia?
If the MRI technologist positions you with your leg going into the magnet (the MRI machine) then your head would be out of it. Call the facility where you are scheduled to have the MRI and ask to speak with the MRI technologist and they can fully explain to you exactly how you will be positioned.

Is a MRI a treatment?
No. It is not a treatment it is a scan. An MRI is a Magnetic Resonance Imaging. MRI are used for imaging tissues.
Where is the magnetic field in a MRI?
manly in the middle of the mri
What is true about MRI images?
MRI can damage cells

renal MRI
What is an MRI referring agency?
The agency that referred the patient for the MRI; the doctor or clinic.
