* That uses magnetism, radio waves, and a computer to
produce images of body structures.
* MRI is based on the principles of NMR
* In1997 the first MRI exam was performed on a human
being.
* It took 5 hours to produce one image.

WHAT CAN BE DIAGN OSED BY AN MRI
SCAN?
* Most ailments of the brain, including tumours
* Sport injuries
* Musculoskeletal problems
* Most spinal conditions/injuries
* Vascular abnormalities
* Female pelvic problems
* Prostate problems
* Some gastrointestinal tract conditions
* Certain ear, nose and throat (ENT) conditions
* Soft tissue and bone pathology/conditions
Niranjan Ultrasound India pvt.Ltd Qe)
* A cardiac pacemaker
* Certain clips in your head from brain operations
* A cochlear implant
* A metallic foreign body in your eye
* Had surgery in the last 8 weeks
* If you are pregnant

PRINCIPLE
* MRI makes use of the magnetic properties of certain
atomic nuclei.
* Hydrogen nucleus (single proton) present in water
molecules, and therefore in all body tissues.
* The hydrogen nuclei partially aligned by a strong
magnetic field in the scanner.
Niranjan Ultrasound India pvt.Ltd Qe)
CONTI..
* The nuclei can be rotated using radio waves, and they
subsequently oscillate in the magnetic field while returning
to equilibrium.
* Simultaneously they emit a radio signal.
* This is detected using antennas (coils)
* Very detailed images can be made of soft tissues.

MAIN COMPONENTS OF MRI
* Scanner
* Computers
* Recording hardware
Niranjan Ultrasound India pvt.Ltd Qe)
CANNER
* An MRI scanner is a large tube that contains powerful
magnets.
* Main components of scanner
— Static magnetic field coils
— Gradient coils
— RF (radiofrequency) coils

* Three methods to generate magnetic field
1. Fixed magnet
2. Resistive magnet
3. Super conducting magnet
* Fixed magnets and resistive magnets are generally
restricted to field strengths below 0.4t
* High-resolution imaging systems use super conducting
magnets.
* The super-conducting magnets are large and complex
* They need the coils to be soaked in liquid helium to reduce
their temperature to a value close to absolute zero.
Niranjan Ultrasound India pvt.Ltd Qe)
GRADIENT COILS
* Gradient coils are used to produce deliberate variations in
the main magnetic field
* There are usually three sets of gradient coils, one for each
direction.
* The variation in the magnetic field permits localization of
image slices as well as phase encoding and frequency
encoding.
* The set of gradient coils for the z axis are helmholtz pairs,
and for the x and y axis paired saddle coils.
Transceiver
Patient
Niranjan Ultrasound India pvt.Ltd Qe)
* RF coils act as transmitter and receiver
* RF coils are the "antenna" of the MRI system
* That transmit the RF signal and receives the return signal.
* They are simply a loop of wire either circular or
rectangular
* Helmholtz pair coils consist of two circular coils parallel
to each other.
* They are used as the z gradient coils in MRI scanners
* Paired saddle coils are also used for the x and y gradient
coils.
Niranjan Ultrasound India pvt.Ltd Qe)
* No ionizing radiation
* Variable thickness in any plane
* Better contrast resolution
* Many details without iv contrast
Niranjan Ultrasound India pvt.Ltd Qe)
DISADVANTAGES OF MRI
* Very expensive
* Dangerous for patients with metallic devices placed within
the body
* Difficult to be performed on claustrophobic patients
* Movement during scanning may cause blurry images
* RF transmitters can cause severe burns if mishandled

* Since the early 1990s, FMRI has come
* FMRI is based on the same technology as MRI
* FMRI looks at blood flow
* Itis a technique for measuring brain activity
* It works by detecting the changes in blood oxygenation and
flow that occur in response to neural activity
