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
