    Study Notes

    MRI Basics

    • MRI stands for Magnetic Resonance Imaging
    • MRI is based on the physical phenomenon of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR)

    MRI Principle and Procedure

    • The principle behind MRI is Resonance
    • MRI is a non-invasive technique in the field of radiology
    • The MRI procedure is a non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic fields and radio waves
    • MRI uses magnetic fields and radio waves to create images of organs and tissues

    MRI Characteristics

    • MRI uses radio waves to create images
    • MRI does not use ionizing radiation
    • MRI produces cross-sectional images
    • Claustrophobic design is a characteristic of MRI that may cause anxiety in some patients

    MRI Physics

    • The powerful magnetic field in MRI is used to align hydrogen nuclei
    • The unit of measurement for MRI flux density in SI units is Tesla (T)
    • The unit of measurement for MRI flux density in CGS units is Gauss (G)

    MRI Machine and Computer Program

    • The machine used in MRI is called an MRI scanner
    • The computer program in MRI is used to create high-quality images

    Advantages and Purpose

    • The advantage of MRI over CT scans is that it uses non-ionizing radiation
    • The purpose of MRI is to produce images of organs and tissues
