Flashcards

Precession

The rotation of a magnetic moment around an external magnetic field, characterized by a specific frequency.

Larmor frequency

The frequency at which a magnetic moment precesses around an external magnetic field, determined by the strength of the magnetic field and the gyromagnetic ratio of the nucleus.

Resonance

The absorption and re-emission of energy by a nucleus when it flips its magnetic moment in alignment with an external magnetic field.

MR signal

The signal generated by the aligned nuclei as they release their energy, creating a measurable response in an MRI scanner.
