1.  To facilitate high resolution multiplane viewing of MRI prostate images in a treatment planning system, the MRI sequences should be acquired with: *
1 point
2.  The 3D T2 SPACE (Sampling Perfection with Application optimised Contrast using different flip angle Evolution) series in this study had which Time to Repetition (TR) parameter? *
1 point
3.  Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC) scores were used to assess urethra planning organ at risk volume (PRV) overlap between observers. DSC is reported as a number between 0 representing no spatial overlap and 1 representing perfect spatial overlap. What was the mean DSC for the 3D T2 SPACE series? *
1 point
4.  Which of the following describes the appearance of the urethra on a T2 weighted MRI sequence compared to the surrounding glandular tissue? *
1 point
5.  Which patient factor negatively impacts urethra visualisation on a 3D T2 SPACE series? *
1 point
