What is the purpose of a 'pre-MRI screening questionnaire' for patients?
To assess the patient's knowledge about MRI technology
To identify potential risks or contraindications related to the MRI procedure
To prepare the patient for the sensations experienced during an MRI scan
To ensure the patient's insurance coverage for the MRI procedure
#4
In MRI, what does the term 'TE' stand for?
Transmit Energy
Time of Echo
Tissue Enhancement
Total Exposure
#5
What is the purpose of the 'bore' in an MRI machine?
To house the MRI coils
To generate the magnetic field
To shield the MRI machine from external interference
To provide a tunnel-like space for patients during scans
#6
Which of the following is NOT a common safety concern in MRI?
Projectile risk

Ionizing radiation exposure
Burns from RF energy
#7
What is the purpose of the 'zone system' in MRI safety?
To categorize patients based on medical history
To define areas within the MRI suite based on the level of magnetic field exposure
To calibrate the MRI machine for different types of scans
To establish communication protocols between MRI technicians
#8
What is the purpose of the 'MR Conditional' designation for medical devices?
It indicates that the device is completely safe for use in MRI environments
It means the device can be used in MRI environments under certain conditions
It suggests that the device cannot be used in MRI environments
It indicates that the device is MRI incompatible
#9
Which of the following is true regarding the '5 Gauss Line' in MRI safety?
It represents the maximum permissible magnetic field strength within the MRI suite
It delineates the boundary beyond which ferromagnetic objects may be safely used
It indicates the distance from the MRI machine within which magnetic fields are hazardous
It marks the area where magnetic forces are equal to the Earth's magnetic field
#10
Which of the following is a common method to mitigate the risk of projectile accidents in MRI?
Using non-ferromagnetic materials in the MRI suite
Implementing strict patient screening protocols
Increasing the magnetic field strength
Placing warning signs around the MRI machine
#11
What is the primary danger associated with ferromagnetic materials in the MRI environment?
They can become demagnetized
They can interfere with the magnetic field, causing image artifacts
They can heat up rapidly, causing burns
They can be attracted to the magnet, posing a projectile risk
#12
What is the purpose of the 'quench vent' in MRI systems?
To release excess radiofrequency energy
To rapidly cool down the MRI machine in case of emergency shutdown
To filter out electromagnetic interference
To regulate the flow of liquid helium and prevent a catastrophic quench
#13
What is the primary concern regarding patient implants in MRI?
They may cause interference with the magnetic field
They may cause allergic reactions to the contrast agent
They may increase the risk of burns from RF energy
They may increase the risk of developing claustrophobia during the scan
#14
What is the primary concern associated with 'magnetohydrodynamic effect' in MRI?
It can lead to patient burns from RF energy
It may cause image artifacts
It can result in dislodgement of ferromagnetic implants
It can induce electrical currents in the body
