MRI Scan Animation : How magnetic resonance imaging works

This animation explains how a MRI scan is obtained. It covers how the magnetic resonance signal is produced and detected in the body using powerful magnets and radiofrequency pulses. The role of key components (magnets, gradient coils, and RF coil) are linked to the processes taking place in the body. The animation explains how the MRI signal is localised in image slices of the body using gradient coils. Methods of detecting tissue contrast are introduced, though not explained in detail since the aim of this animation is to introduce the primary concepts of producing an image (proton density, transverse relaxation time, RF pulse sequences and delayed application of localisation fields).

    I thought the gradient coils were located inside the MRI machine in solenoid form not to the side as shown in the video?

  • @PhysicsHQ

    @PhysicsHQ

    Жыл бұрын

    Yes that is correct. I was trying to represent the entire diagram somewhat schematically and partly realistically. The schematic representation was most important for my purpose of this video since I was trying to explain the principles under which MRI works. The gradient coils were represented in that way so that the diagram didn’t become too cluttered in that location.

    I thought inside a magnetic flux field, the small spin would turn field line into the sine wave or triple and a high resolution of MaD( magnetic anormality detection would synchronized to the tiny triple wave of each region and display as needed at any resolution. UN cosmetic operation, they super imposed the 3 d desired feature over region need fix and make any one look as young and beautiful or energetic with add on energizer driver

    Very good and informative explanation. I think I understood the first half. However, I found a typo, at 1:15, precession is around magnetic field lines, not gravitational field, right?

  • @PhysicsHQ

    @PhysicsHQ

    3 жыл бұрын

    Thank you. Yes precession of nuclei in MRI is around magnetic field lines. At 1:15 I give an example of precessional motion that people are more likely to be familiar with - a spinning top which processes around gravitational field lines.

  • @Heritage3911

    Is MRI based on getting things going and then turning things off? So if you turn one thing off you can get signal from proton precession going from IN phase to OUT of phase, but if you turn this other thing off you can get signal from the relaxation of the change in angular momentum of the precession itself, independent of phase. Is that what this is all about? And which one is T1 and which one is T2 again?

    May I have questions: 1. Are the ranges of values of Bx and By same or very different? (If very different, 16 frequencies can be made at same time.

  • @PhysicsHQ

    @PhysicsHQ

    3 жыл бұрын

    Hi. Sure thing. 1. Frequency changes are very small from one row to the next. 2. Yes I believe that is correct - one frequency is required per pixel of an image. The frequencies are transmitted simultaneously into the patient. The received signal requires the Fourier transform to separate out the individual signals for interpretation.
