The background you need to understand before looking at Abdominal MRI, and prior to any Body MRI rotation.
Basic Physics (2:03), Common tissues (22:54)
Pulse Sequences 27:07 (Gradient Echo, Spin Echo, TE/TR and tissue contrast, Fat saturation: 41:12, DWI: 46:38)
Common Pulse Sequences in Abdominal MRI 55:29 (Fast T1W and T2W imaging, in and out of phase, MRCP)
Typical Abdominal MRI Protocol 1:14:12
Normal Abdominal MRI Scan 1:17:08
Abnormal Abdominal MRI (Case) 1:27:52
Future videos will review Liver, Pelvic, and Prostate MRI.
For in depth physics reading, I suggest mriquestions.com

Become an expert in Body MRI with our case-based courses (MR Liver, Pancreas, Prostate, Gyne, etc) at www.navigatingradiology.com - which include full case examples of the most important pathologies, links to key findings, and teach you what you need to know to be effective at body MRI. We developed these courses given that radiologists tend to struggle with body mri, and high quality body MRI resources are lacking.

What's your BP though?

[@davekim1027]

You sir, made everything so clear. I almost gave up couple of times but you asked me to hang on and I am glad I did. Thanks again.

[@mohammedabba9269]

Thank you for patiently delivering the basics of MRI Abdomen. It's rich

[@yassinealami7733]

amazing introduction to MRI way clearer than brent and helms, thank you very much!

[@MulaDraws]

Thank you so much for this! Starting R1 in July 👍😁

Go on we need more doctors to help us with MRI😊

[@fuatdede4500]

Thank you so much for such a beautiful and satisfying presentation. Do you plan to make a separate presentation on whole body MRI techniques used in PET/MR for nuclear medicine physicians? Best wishes.

[@ranjumonikonwar2331]

made easy to understand the concepts andv apply it to pathologyea

[@lostproton4916]

A little correction. It is not the RF pulse that makes the proton precess. Protons start precessing once they get into the B0 field. The RF pulse just puts the already precessing protons in phase.

[@surendrayadav3332]

Very nice 👌 thank

[@dr.md.shalahuddin2185]

Just an awesome outstanding delivery. Can u plz specifically mention where MRI Abdomen is necessary instead of CT. What extra info can an MRI provide?

[@vapad]

Amazing. Thank you!

[@vishalchaudhary710]

Very informative

[@ahmedelshahat8366]

amazing lecture , many thanks sir

[@eltiarribero]

Really good video. Thanks. Regards.

[@RD2564]

Love your left handed coordinate system. A lot of you MRI / doctor guys do that, which is fine, the math can be made to adapt, maybe it's an MRI industry standard or something, but it's interesting to me because they were very careful to only ever use a right hand coordinate system in math, science and engineering courses when I was in engineering school way back in the good old days, the 80's. That way all the equations were same in all the text books. We even only ever talked about one sign convention version of the 1st law of thermodynamics back in those days. Good times, good times ...

[@vitennis9109]

Would you normally report findings as small livery cysts, kidney lipomas etc. How significant should a finding be to be included in the report?

[@adityprakash4753]

Excellent talk..

[@bused_37]

Why can't we use STIR with Gd?

[@Gragon]

Hello. Question. We dont really measure the longitudinal relaxation because like you said we measure signal on xy plane. So we measure t1 relaxation by measuring decreasing signal on xy plane. The same signal is composed of precessing atoms and when they loose precession the horizontal magnetization also decreases. How do we diferenciate t1 recovery from t2 relaxation if both processes are measured on xy plane?

[@lostproton4916]

1. t1 relaxation or more precisely the decay of the Net Magnetization Vector along B0 happens, well, along B0, so the very small magnetic vector cannot be measure next to the big B0 magnetic vector. Bit like pissing into a big river, can you register your piss? No, because it is minuscule compared to the river. 2. t1 is measured indirectly. I don't know details, though.

[@antoniocognato5023]

Can you see if there are any tumors? How clear can you see the pancreas?

[@theresecoe1732]

Will Abdomen MRI show the rectum. I understand it does not show reproductive organs in the same area, but was told it does show rectum even if pelvis is not ordered.

[@patriciascott4323]

Hi an ultrasound showed a fatty liver so a MRI was ordered. What is type of abdominal MRI is better 1.5 T or 3.0 T considering chemical shift artifacts, SAR, RF field inhomogeneity, magnetic susceptibility. I would appreciate your opinion. Thanks
