1/If you aren’t cheating, you aren’t trying!

Are you looking at MRIs?

Feeling some confusion about the diffusion?

Feel impaired when it comes to the FLAIR?

Wish you could cheat a little?

Here’s a little cheat sheet on all the sequences you NEED to know for looking at MRIs!

➡️T1: It’s for anatomy, so brain structures reflect the same color as real life.

🔸So gray matter is gray on T1 & white matter is white on T1.

🔸It’s also for contrast. Contrast is taken up by masses making them light up & easier to see.

➡️T2: It’s the water sensitive sequence.

🔸What is pathologic water in the brain? Edema!

🔸Remember--everything bad in this world is trying to turn you back into what you came from—water!

➡️DWI: Diffusion detects stroke, which are bright on DWI.

🔸But anything that makes space tight in the brain can be bright on diffusion (cellular masses, pus under pressure, etc.)

➡️Gradient: Gradient is sensitive to metals.

🔸What’s the most important metal in body? Iron—bc iron is in blood.

🔸So gradient is our blood sensitive sequence

🌟So remember🌟

▶️T1 is for Anatomy & Contrast
▶️T2 is for Water & Edema
▶️DWI is for stroke
▶️Gradient is for blood

Hopefully, this will help you next time you have an MRI--who says cheaters never win? 😉
