MRI technique - 3B - schmeep


Posted: Jan 23, 2013

This is new to me - "axial diffusion weighted imaging with 3B values including b50, b500 and b1000." 

In Googling this, I see both lower case (b50) and upper case (B50).  Anyone familiar with this?  Thanks.

3D - nm - RadMt2long

Nm

I know this is probably too late - but please see message

I did some searching and have attached a link. I'm not entirely familiar with it, but I believe it is b value, lowercase b.

Thank you - schmeep

Thanks for posting the link. Google had more lower case examples than upper case, so I ended up using the lower case (whew). I didn't see anything about "3B" or "3b" in your link though. Hmmmm....

3B - me again

I'm thinking maybe your dictator meant three b-values, not 3b by the way he went on to say b50, b500, and b1000. Like I said though, I'm not too familiar with it. I did find it as lowercase b everywhere I looked though. I think I googled it something like "axial diffusion weighted images 3b" and then eliminated the 3 and googled it as "...images b." I also googled it the same way with 3D instead of 3b, just to be sure that wasn't it because for some reason it just didn't feel right to me.
That makes a lot of sense - nm - schmeep

Questions On Your Technique
Jun 12, 2011

I am wondering what method you all use for transcribing.  Do you listen and type word for word, or do you listen to the complete thought before typing it?  Has anyone who was formally trained been taught a certain way?  Has anyone switched from technique to another and seen a difference one way or another?  I am continually trying to find ways to improve speed without a lot of success.  I am very frustrated and having difficulty paying my bills. Also, in case it co ...
