Study Notes

Gradients in MRI

  • Gradients in MRI alter the magnetic field strength in a predictable way.
  • The field strength at the magnetic isocentre remains unchanged when the gradient is switched on.
  • Larger gradient coil currents create steeper gradients, resulting in a greater change in field strength over distance.
  • The polarity of the gradient is determined by the direction of the current flowing through the coil.
  • The maximum achievable resolution in MRI is not determined by the amplitude of the gradient.
  • The slope of the gradient signifies the rate of change of the magnetic field strength along its length.
  • The magnitude of the change in field strength does not only depend on the strength of the gradient.
  • The polarity of the gradient coil determines which end of the gradient produces a higher field strength than isocentre.
  • The direction of the current flowing through the coil determines the polarity of the gradient.
