Front Back
Question 1
Susceptibility Artifact (use spin echo or increase turbo factor)
Question 2
Flow Artifact(CSF in brain. Want phase encoding to where it reduced motion)
Question 3
Motion Artifact(even slight movement can show up as artifact)
Question 4
Zipper artifactRF leakage (open door)
Question 5
Aliasing Artifact(Make FOV big enough or add phase oversampling)
Question 6
Chemical Shift(fat/H20 phase slightly different, & some cancel out) Decrease FOV or increase bandwidth
Question 7
Black Boundary (In/out of phase fat/water)
Question 8
Gibbs Effect(Seen on phantoms; low resolution)
Question 9
Zero Filling Artifact (Only Partially fills, inputs 0's for the rest of the K-space)
Question 10
Moire Fringe Artifacts(On localizer; lack of homogeneity)
Question 11
Answer 11
Random Motion Artifact(Two lines in k-space disturbed; looks worse b/c goes through center [point of highest intensity])
Question 12
Answer 12
Periodic Motion Artifact(4 lines of k-space disturbed; not as bad b/c doesn't go through center)
Question 13
Answer 13
Random Noise
Question 14
Answer 14
Large RF spike near k-space center(One point in k-space disturbed)
Question 15
Answer 15
Large RF Spike near k-space periphery
