Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy - MRS | Point Resolved Spectroscopy - PRESS | MRI Physics Course #28

MRI physics question bank is now live!
*High yield radiology physics past paper questions with video answers*
Perfect for testing yourself prior to your radiology physics exam 👇

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

*I have also created two RADIOPAEDIA LEARNING PATHWAYS*

WHAT’S INCLUDED?
✅This YouTube series Ad free
✅Constantly updated Radiopaedia articles
✅Summary slides
✅Key take home bullet points throughout
✅Multiple review quizzes
✅Short answer review questions
✅Official Radiopaedia course completion certificate

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

Magnetic resonance spectroscopy allows for analysis of relative concentrations of certain metabolites in a specific location in an MRI image. Here we will look at water and fat suppression, signal localisation (using PRESS, STEAM or multivoxel sequences) and briefly discuss certain metabolites used in brain imaging.

This is intended to be an introduction to the basic physics of MRS and nothing more. Clinical interpretation of MRS will be discussed at a later date.

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

*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

Thank you for helping me pass my specialist examination! Please don't stop making these incredibly helpful videos!

[AndreaLopez-jxuo]

Your videos along with the MIC Registry book I just passed my MRI REGISTRY!!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[tusharjain]

Thanks for marvellous videos. Very helpful for board exams

[vamosadialogar]

PASSED the ARRT MRI Board !!! rhank you so much sir !!! Keep spreading the knowledge!!

[fazaltahir]

Superb as always, words are not sufficient to thank you for your magnificent service 🎉, stay blessed n happy, we always pray for u 🎉

[MrMainolfs]

i've not finished watching the course yet; but if you haven't talked about it i would suggest a lecture on functional MRI;
the hospital i'm currently interning at has a 3T MRI and does functional MRI images and would love to understand more

Hi Dr Michal, got through frcr part 1 at first attempt with a high score. Your question banks and videos were incredibly helpful. Thanks a lot. ❤
Highly recommended collection

[rachlruby]

Hey Michael, thanks for always breaking down tough concepts with dedicated preparation and a brightening smile😊😊 would be grateful if you could take a few secs to clarify this quick question - can MR spectroscopy be used to image dural venous sinuses (e.g. transverse & straight sinus), or can it only be used to investigate regions in the brain parenchyma tissue?

[fazaltahir]

Thanks a lot sir Michael, much awaited topic 🎉❤

[Whyamihereandwhayareyouhere]

thank you so much professor I'm 3rd year student of Mr tech. after watching this lecture with decipline I think this topic was haunting me for no reason ❤

[Dollarrich]

Incredible content. How many videos left to complete the series my good sir?

[samanthahearn]

Hi Dr Nel, thanks so much for this series, it’s great! Just bought the question bank package 😊I was looking at the SA colleges of medicine website and saw they ask quite a few questions about CT and fluoroscopy - do you have any good resource suggestions for these topics? Or will you maybe be covering them sometime?
All the best from a fellow Cape Tonian ✊

[patrickleeson]

hi Dr nel - incredible course. Is this the last of the videos?

[shivambansal]

great stuff for X rays, USG as well as MRI !! Best available resource on YouTube.

May I please know if and when CT physics is being planned...my exam is in September

[MrMainolfs]

i suggest also a lecture in 3D sequences and SWI sequences

[abdussattar]

Thank you for all these amazing videos, they have really helped me a lot.

Just wanted to ask, will you be making a video on MRI Artefacts and MRI safety? thanks

[aleenajoseph]

Thanks a lot sir!!!... really helpful
Looking forward to many more.. lectures
I have University exam next month... started studying with the help of your lectures...
Also i need help in nuclear medicine

[bidhubhusandas]

Respected sir, Can you please make a video on HRCT LUNG PATTERNS

[troychristensen]

Is the MR machine wired entirely differently or can you take MRI output and convert or need "raw" data to send to MRS algorithm.... so why is there not conformal MRI MRS in year 2024 yet ?

[GajabSingh-vg]

Thanks sir but in lecture 22 you covered diffusion weighted image but in my exam ask diffusion tensor image is it both same or different, what I write in exam lecture 22 in this question
