MCQ FRCR -- DISC HERNIATION

16.All are features of herniated disc except
a. focal contour abnormality along the posterior disc margin
b. may displace the epidural fat, nerve root, epidural veins, or thecal sac
d. On GRE images, it is easy to visualize the herniated disc in the epidural space
e. Herniated discs typically have very low signal intensity on sagittal and axial T2-weighted FSE images
e. Nerve root and thecal sac compression are well shown on T1-weighted SE images, particularly in the axial plane




16.---d
On GRE  images, it is difficult to visualize the herniated disc in the epidural space because the signal intensity of fat and disc material is similar. However, annular tears may be better seen with FSE or GRE sequences . GRE images show bone abnormalities better than do conventional
