Patient bathed in a magnetic field
Field causes some of the body’s nuclei to behave like tiny compasses and line up
The nuclei are hit by pulsing radio waves
Once the pulses stop the nuclei go back to their state induced by the magnet
Energy now released by the nuclei acts like miniature radio stations giving out a signal
Radio waves are picked up by a computer where they are translated into an image.
EVENTS ON MRI SCANNER
![Page 6: MRI Basics by Saleh Asad](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062412/58a395631a28abb1348b4e2b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
MRI Principles MRI is based on the principle of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) Two basic principles of NMR
1. Atoms with an odd number of protons or neutrons have spin 2. A moving electric charge, be it positive or negative, produces a magnetic field
MRI utilizes this magnetic spin property of protons of hydrogen to elicit images
![Page 7: MRI Basics by Saleh Asad](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062412/58a395631a28abb1348b4e2b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
WHY HYDROGEN ?
Has an unpaired proton which is positively charged
Act as tiny magnet which produces small but noticeable magnetic field
Only major species in the body that is MR sensitive
Abundant in the body in the form of water and fat
So, Essentially all MRI is hydrogen (proton) imaging
![Page 8: MRI Basics by Saleh Asad](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062412/58a395631a28abb1348b4e2b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
MRI Physics
![Page 9: MRI Basics by Saleh Asad](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062412/58a395631a28abb1348b4e2b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
But why we can’t act like magnets?
The protons (i.e. Hydrogen ions) in body are spinning in a haphazard fashion, and cancel all the magnetism. That is our natural state!
We need to discipline them first, how?
Magnetic field strength : 0.3 – 7 T (2500 times more than earth’s magnetic field). Average field strength – 1.5 T

MODERN MRI MACHINE

LONGITUDINAL & TRANSVERSE MAGNETIZATION

RADIO FREQUENCY IMPULSE
![Page 14: MRI Basics by Saleh Asad](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062412/58a395631a28abb1348b4e2b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
![Page 15: MRI Basics by Saleh Asad](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062412/58a395631a28abb1348b4e2b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
T1 Weighted Image :
Scanning parameters are set ( short TR/short TE ) to minimize T2 relaxation effects.
Short TR,TE = High signal = Brighter Image
Long TR,TE = Low Signal = Darker Image
Tissues with high fat content appear bright and compartments filled with water appears dark.
Good for demonstrating anatomy used to differentiate anatomical structures mainly on the basis of T1 values.
![Page 16: MRI Basics by Saleh Asad](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062412/58a395631a28abb1348b4e2b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
T2-weighted image :
the scanning parameters are set ( long TR/long TE ) to minimize T1 relaxation effects.
Long TR/TE = High Signal = Brighter Image
Short TR/TE = Low Signal = Darker Image
Compartments filled with water appear bright and tissues with high fat content appear dark.
Good for demonstrating pathology since most lesions are associated with an
increase in water content.

PD-weighted imaging
used to differentiate anatomical structures based on their proton density;
the scanning parameters are set ( long TR/short TE ) to minimize T1 and T2 relaxation effects
FLAIR images
Inversion recovery sequence with long T1 to remove the effects of fluid from the resulting images.

Claustrophobia : Patients are in a very enclosed space.
Weight and size : Limitations to how big a patient can be.
Noise : The scanner is very noisy.
Keeping still : Have to keep very still . So children need sedation.
Cost : Expensive, therefore scanning is also costly.
Time consuming: take 15 to 45 minutes.
