Introducing MRI: Inversion Recovery (35 of 56)

www.einstein.yu... - The thirty-fifth chapter of Dr. Michael Lipton's MRI course covers Inversion Recovery. Dr. Lipton is associate professor radiology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and associate director of its Gruss Magnetic Resonance Research Center.

Sir,
Greetings from India.
I am an Otorhinolaryngologist from Kolkata, India who happens to have an extra interest in Radiology.
Ever since the lockdown started here, which was from 23rd March, I have been reading up a lot on the radiology of the Temporal Bone and CP Angle. I was desperately looking for some educational material, either in the form of a text book or a video series to understand the Physics behind MR Imaging and happened to chance upon this series.
This was God send for me. For the last two days, I have binge watched the series, finishing this lecture a few moments ago and plan to finish the entire series in the next two-three days.
ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT YOU ARE A MASTER TEACHER AND THOUGH I MAY NOT COMPREHEND EVERYTHING AT ONE GO (AND MAY HAVE TO REVISIT THE SERIES AGAIN), I HAVE LEARNT A LOT FROM YOU IN THE LAST TWO DAYS THAN WHAT I COULD HAVE, HAD I JUST FOLLOWED TEXTBOOKS AND PUBLICATIONS.
Till now I kept reading about the use of 3D FLAIR, especially the heavily T2-weighted 3D FLAIR (both pre and post Gadolinium) in Ménière's Disease, but after this lecture, I have started to comprehend the logic behind its use.
Thank you ever so much, Blessed Sir!!
Regards,
Dr Manoj Agarwal

Hello Dr. Agarwal, MRI in Practice 5th edition by Catherine Westbrook and John Talbot is the latest edition of MR Physics. It is a great book, and I believe it is available on Amazon. It covers every topic, including safety. You may reach out to me should you have more questions. Have a great day!

[@manojentcal]

@@KingArmen84 Thank you Sir. You too have a great day!!!

[@Pallepop909]

Thank god for Michael Lipton. Saving the day with his very thought out MRI lessons once again.

This was an incredible lecture! thank you for clarifying the IR techniques. my classroom professor did not clearly explain this concept.

[@Kazimov100]

Even when the Longitudinal magnetization is at zero and we give the 90 RF pulse wouldn't all the protons just get in phase and thus give a signal in the transverse plane anyway?? In a normal T1 the moment you give a RF pulse the longitudinal vector immediately goes to zero and all the protons phase causing a transverse plane signal. Here the only difference is the longitudinal is already at 0 but why wouldn't they get in phase and cause a transverse signal??

[@SaharshSinghWorld]

Exactly my question

[@narayanakammila2126]

thanks a lot. actually i am searching for that point how the reversed magnetization is going to come back with out creating 90degree transverse magnitization. Now i got the answer. thanks for such great lecture

[@sumansehrawat4891]

can u pls rply me

[@davidkimball6244]

So you are essentially choosing a Ti to suppress the grey matter in MP-RAGE?

[@tpetrynec581]

Just excellent information.....thank you

[@patrickcruz2334]

As mentioned on the video, Inversion Time of CSF (long) is around 2seconds. May I know the Inversion Time for Fat (Short) used on STIR?

[@SlimeFx4L]

What book do you use?

[@iMANTlS]

I think when you started talking about T1w FLAIR and T2w FLAIR, you should have pointed that TR is not related to 90degree pulse like the standard pulse sequence

[@patrickcruz2334]

This is very informative. Thanks a lot!

[@MaryamBahreman12]

Awsome🎉😊

In T2 FLAIR Imaging: Could you, instead of waiting for a long TR of 10 seconds or more, use a shorter TR and decrease the flip angle?

[@parandoushabbasian3007]

Fantastic. Thanks

[@MrThewage]

Brilliant. Thank you.
