DWI vs ADC MRI sequences: EXPLAINED

*High yield radiology physics past paper questions with video answers*
Perfect for testing yourself prior to your radiology physics exam 👇

➡️ MRI QUESTION BANK: COMING SOON 🕰️

=========================

Understanding how to tell the difference between diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) MRI images can be easy!

I use my trusty chopstick (!) to demonstrate the physics of MRI sequences. By the end, you'll confidently differentiate DWI vs ADC images (and know why this is important).

Chapters:
0:00 Intro
0:27 Why do people get confused?
1:58 Basic physics explanation
9:06 How is a DWI image created?
10:17 What contributes to signal?
12:26 How to eliminate T2 shine through
14:17 Clinical example
17:32 Outro

=========================

*Not sure if the question banks are for you?*
If you're here, you're likely studying for a radiology physics exam. I've spent the last few months collating past papers from multiple different countries selecting the most commonly asked questions. You'll be surprised how often questions repeat themselves!

The types of questions asked in FRCR, RANZCR AIT, ARRT, FC Rad Diag (SA), ABR qualifying Core Physics and MICR part 1 are surprisingly similar and the key concepts remain the same throughout. I've taken the most high-yield questions and answered them in video format so that I can take you through why certain answers are correct and others are not.

Happy studying,
Michael

How many times have I come back to this video!! Thank you so much

[MeanMugger]

This was SO helpful as I'm studying for boards. Thanks for such a clear simplified explanation!

[SamuelAwuroSampuo]

Please do a comprehensive video on mri physics. You just demystified the physics behind DWI and its very well understood. thank you Doc

[hameedaklan]

I am really amazed by the way you simplify difficult topics.Thanks so much.

[CatMedy]

it is incredible how you managed to explain such difficult theme! Thank you so much!

[gihans.]

Thank you so much for your simple yet beneficial explanation

[cocoillo]

I'm an undergrad just getting started in radiology with my first position as a clinical research assistant. This was ridiculously helpful, you're amazing! Thank you!

[pamelapena]

Excellent! So practical and applicable minus the complex physics ! Thank you

[LuisAlejandroPérezLópez-xg]

Amazing video, so well and easy explained. Thank you

[cai-sq]

Thank you very much. It is important for clinician to get this intuition of MRI. Grateful for this.

[RaviRanjan-rtfk]

I have read theoretical part of dwi and adc but was not correlating.now everything is crystal clear.Thanks a lot for transforming my life.One day I will start reporting mri by learning from your vedio only

[eunicejessiamba]

I hope you make a video on susceptibility weighted imaging. thank you so much for the clear and simplified lectures!

[MsLondonm]

I didn`t know where to "place" my plea, so I decided it fits best under the DWI video :D Can you please consider making videos on the subjects of one - brain ischemia and two - brain hemorrhage... you know - appearance on both CT and MRI, evolution over time and all the hideous details surrounding these two seemingly "basic" topics, because frankly I don`t believe I will ever understand it unless I hear you explain them :D It will be a great Christmas gift for all your subscribers in my opinion. Greetings from Bulgaria :)

[Sam-yvzj]

Amazing video, can't wait to see the rest.
Thanks a lot (From a french intern)

[jademiller]

Thank you for the video, I understand this process far more now.

[SamuelAwuroSampuo]

Oh I just saw the module on the MRI physics🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

[Md.SayyidurRahman]

Thank you so much. Excellent tutorial...

[kaustabhchakraborty]

I was just learning MRI image modalities for a Machine Learning project on brain Stroke detection, and this video was so much more helpful than so many blogs online on the same topic. Thanks man

[jim]

Excellent video, very clear. Thank you for sharing

[IngridIsaac-di]

You are truly phenomenal. Thank you for sharing!
