Study Notes
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
- The technique was called Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) rather than Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) to avoid the negative connotations associated with the word "nuclear" in the late 1970s.
- MRI is an imaging technique used primarily in medical settings to produce high-quality images of the inside of the human body.
- MRI is based on the principles of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), a spectroscopic technique used to obtain microscopic chemical and physical information about molecules.
MRI Device
- The coils in an MRI device are capable of producing a strong magnetic field.
- The MRI device is based on the principle of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR).
Larmor Concept
- Joseph Larmor is credited with the concept of Larmor in the context of MRI.
