    THE PHYSICS PODCAST - Series 1 MRI - Episode 6 - Echoes Everywhere!

    Welcome to EPISODE 6 of THE PHYSICS PODCAST from RADIOLOGY JAM - Echoes Everywhere!  This week we continue our journey into MRI sequences with a particular focus on the techniques that allow FAST imaging.. spoiler alert there are a lot of echoes involved :) The FRCR Part 1 physics exam can be challenging for those new to radiology and medical physics. The aim of THE PHYSICS PODCAST by RADIOLOGY JAM is to cut through the jargon and ask those questions you wish you had!  We are starting with the hardest topic first, the one that candidates find most challenging... MRI! To save us from the MRI spiral of doom is Medical Physicist Extraordinaire Joely Smith. Joely Smith is an MR Physicist at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust and an Honorary Lecturer at Imperial College London. The team at Radiology Jam are so excited to welcome Joely, who manages to make complex concepts into digestible little nuggets with a sprinkle of fun! Join us! We promise you won’t be bored! If there’s anything you want to be covered, let us know!  Send in your questions on twitter @Jam_Radiology or email us at radiologyjampodcasts@gmail.com Disclaimer:  At Radiology Jam we offer, among other things, a review of the best available literature necessary to pass the FRCR exam. This podcast is not a substitute for buying and reading that literature but is intended to supplement the best resources on the market. We hope to assist with the digestion of the huge volume of information needed to pass the FRCR. Nothing published by Radiology Jam can or should be taken as medical advice.

    THE PHYSICS PODCAST - Series 1 MRI - Episode 5 - All about Fat!

    Welcome to EPISODE 5 of THE PHYSICS PODCAST from RADIOLOGY JAM - All about Fat!  We are back after an extended break (new jobs/renovating flats etc) This week we discuss how we can manipulate the appearance of fatty tissue on MRI to help aid our diagnostic sensitivity - it might seem like magic - but thankfully Joely Smith is here to explain it all :) The FRCR Part 1 physics exam can be challenging for those new to radiology and medical physics.

    THE PHYSICS PODCAST - Series 1 MRI - Episode 2 How we use magnets to create an image (part 1)

    Welcome to EPISODE 2 of THE PHYSICS PODCAST from RADIOLOGY JAM - How we use magnets to create an image (part 1) Today we are packing in a lot of important concepts that are crucial for understanding how magnets are used to generate an electric signal from the human body. The signal generated is then encoded and decoded to create an image, which we cover in Episode 3. The extremely complex subject matter (quantum physics no less! ) that are covered in this episode are the essential building blocks of MR physics. It is heavy, but has been simplified down by the amazing medical physicist Joely Smith so even I can understand it!  Below are timestamps for the episode so you can skip straight into the subjects you find most challenging and as always we recommend dipping in and out of the episode and taking your time. Listen on your commute, while your cleaning the kitchen or watering the plants! :)  TIMESTAMPS: 1:51 Recap Episode 1 3:39: Hydrogen/NMR 5:40 B0/ Z axis 7:43 Spin up/spin down 9:51 The vector M 12:34 Precession in the transverse plane  14:08 Signal creation  16:17 Coherence 17:25 Lamour frequency in B0 18:50 RF pulse (B1) 20:05 Free induction decay 27:11** musical Interlude**// coffee break 27:20 Recap  28:11 Introduction to Relaxation 28:45 Longitudinal relaxation (spin-lattice/T1) 30:12 Transverse relaxation (spin-spin/T2) 31:37 Relaxation aide memoir 32:51 T1 recovery vs. T2 decay  36:43 Ramblings of a hungry radiologist The FRCR Part 1 physics exam can be challenging for those new to radiology and medical physics.
