Question

A 10 slice 3D volume study of a wrist would have an approximate scan time of ________ w/ TR = 2000ms NEX= 2 Phase encodes= 160 ETL= 24?

Answer 1

The approximate scan time of a 10-slice 3D volume study of a wrist can be calculated using the given values of TR, NEX, Phase encodes, ETL, and Slice Thickness.

Step-by-step explanation:

The approximate scan time of a 10-slice 3D volume study of a wrist can be calculated using the formula:

Scan Time = TR * NEX * Phase encodes * ETL * Slice Thickness

Given the values:

• TR = 2000ms
• NEX = 2
• Phase encodes = 160
• ETL = 24
• Slice Thickness = (volume_study_area / 10)

First, calculate the Slice Thickness by dividing the volume study area by the number of slices. Then, substitute the values into the formula and calculate the scan time in milliseconds.
