What is the difference between functional magnetic resonance, electron paramagnetic resonance and nuclear paramagnetic resonance?

Expert Solution
Step 1

a) Functional magnetic resonance (fMRI): 

Functional magnetic resonance (fMRI) Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR)/Electron spin resonance (ESR) Nuclear paramagnetic resonance (NMR)
It works on the principle that uses magnetic properties of hemoglobin and create the images of changes in cortical blood flow  It uses the microwave radiations to probe species with unpaired electrons like radicals, radical cations, triplets in presence of external static magnetic field It uses the interaction of radiofrequency (rf) electromagnetic radiations with the nuclei of molecules in presence of strong magnetic field
Relaxation time units vary from milliseconds to seconds Relaxation time units vary from nanoseconds to microseconds Relaxation time units vary from milliseconds to seconds
Uses strong magnetic field i.e 1.5 T or higher. The frequency and magnetic field ratio i.e Gyromagnetic ratio is 43 MHz/Tesla The frequency and magnetic field ratio i.e Gyromagnetic ratio is 28 GHz/Tesla The frequency and magnetic field ratio i.e Gyromagnetic ratio is 42.5 MHz/Tesla
It does not use any radiations

It uses microwave radiations i.e 1000 MHz to 300000 MHz

 

It uses radiofrequency wave radiation i.e 100 MHz to 800 MHz
