Yeah, Nah: The MRI Physics Quiz
Presentation description
Join in for a fast-paced and (mildly) chaotic MR Physics Quiz covering everything from pulse sequences and artefacts to RF safety, diffusion, gradients, implants, and the occasional spurious question about the history of MRI! Whether you are a seasoned radiographer or someone who thinks ghosting is a style of management, this quiz promises entertainment, controversy, and the opportunity to recall all those obscure MR physics facts that you once revised intensely and have never knowingly used since. Prizes will include a feeling of unbelievable superiority and bragging rights over your less knowledgeable colleagues.
