Study Notes

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

  • A spin echo recovers dephasing due to magnetic field inhomogeneities and spin-spin interactions.

Proton Behavior after RF Pulses

  • After a 90° RF pulse, protons are aligned in the transverse plane, causing them to precess at the Larmor frequency.
  • A 180° RF pulse reverses the direction of the spins, causing them to rephase.

Purpose and Effect of Spin Echo

  • The purpose of the spin echo is to refocus the magnetization of protons, allowing for the creation of an MR signal.
  • The spin echo has a rephasing effect on the spins, allowing them to re-align in the transverse plane.

Dephasing of Protons

  • Protons dephase in the transverse plane after a 90° RF pulse due to differences in their Larmor frequencies caused by magnetic field inhomogeneities.
  • A 180° RF pulse can rephase the protons, allowing them to realign in the transverse plane after a certain amount of time.
