Fundamentals of Image Interpretation Joseph Castillo B.Sc, M.Sc (MRI)
Five levels • Normal anatomy as seen on MR • Abnormal anatomy • Accurate and complete patient history – In our unit this is not an option. • Pathology – Read MRI reports • Accurate clinical interpretation
Clinical Imaging • Three basic orthogonal planes used in MRI – axial, sagittal and coronal • Unlike CT, radiographers have the ability to image biological functions not just electron density. • We manipulate parameters to get T1W, T2W and PDW. The appearance of the organ is changed.
Spine • Which one is T2w? A B
