Study Notes

MRI Definition

  • Provides cross-sectional images, eliminating the problem of structure superposition.
  • Employs magnetic fields and radio waves to create mathematically reconstructed images.
  • Originally known as Nuclear Magnetic Resonance.

Strengths of MRI

  • Offers exceptional low contrast resolution.
  • This is its main advantage due to the small difference in X-ray attenuation coefficients within soft tissues.
  • Provides clear visualization of structures without the need for contrast media.
  • Capable of resolving relatively small contrast differences between tissues.

Contrast Dependence

  • Contrast in MRI images is determined by the interaction of matter with electromagnetic forces.

Conventional Imaging

  • Produces "flat" images where structures are superimposed.
  • Requires contrast media to distinguish between anatomical structures.
