MCQ---MRI imaging of spine

Q.True regarding the MRI imaging of spine 

a.T2W image mandatory in lumbar region
b.thin sections are required in cervical and thoracic regions
c.fewer  artefact from CSF pusation in thoracic and cervical region
d.GRE images better in contrast and spatial resolutiong
e.Gradient momment nulling is routinely applied with FSE.

ANS---b.Thin sections are required in cervical and thoracic regions for visualisation of neural foramina.

T2W image is  mandatory in cervical and thoracic region to assess the spinal cord region

More artefact from CSF pusation is noted in  thoracic and cervical region

FSE images are  better in contrast and spatial resolution than GRE.

Gradient momment nulling is routinely applied with GRE and conventional T2w spin-echo sequences.
