Sample item

What MRI sequence is especially useful for detecting acute ischemia?

Original practice item, not a recalled exam question. Nothing here is recorded.

The answer and the reasoning

B. Diffusion-weighted imaging

The essential MRI principle supports Diffusion-weighted imaging; it is the option that most directly explains the image characteristic, safe modality choice, or oral-health finding described.

Option by option

  • A. T1-weighted imaging only

    T1-weighted imaging only does not fit the stated mri feature.

  • B. Diffusion-weighted imaging (correct)

    Correct. Diffusion-weighted imaging matches the decisive detail in this sample.

  • C. Mammography

    Mammography is unsupported by the imaging or dental information provided.

  • D. Plain fluoroscopy

    Plain fluoroscopy can be useful elsewhere but is not the best answer here.
