- A proton precesses with a frequency p in the presence of a magnetic field. If the intensity of the magnetic field is doubled, what happens to the precessional frequency?arrow_forwardMagnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a powerful method that, unlike X-ray imaging, allows sharp images of soft tissue to be taken without exposing the patient to potentially dangerous radiation. The starting point for MRI is nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), a technique that depends on whether the protons in the atomic nucleus have a magnetic field. The origin of the proton's magnetic field is its spin. In a classical analogy, the proton has a magnetic moment μ⃗ , like a loop of wire; thus, it will have a torque when subjected to an external magnetic field B⃗ 0. The magnitude of μ⃗ is somewhere around 1.4×10−26 J/T. The proton can be thought of as being in one of two states: either oriented parallel or antiparallel to the applied magnetic field, with work being done to invert the proton from the low-energy to the high-energy state. If a nucleus has an even number of protons and neutrons, they will pair up in such a way that half of the protons will have spins in one orientation, and…arrow_forwardA nucleus with 18 protons travels at a velocity of 6.37 x 10^6 m/s through a region of uniform magnetic field strength 3.35 T.

- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is one of the most useful and rapidly growing medical imaging tools. It non-invasively produces two-dimensional and three-dimensional images of the body that provide important medical information with none of the hazards of x-rays. MRI is based on an effect called nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) in which an externally applied magnetic field interacts with the magnetic fields of nuclei of certain atoms, particularly those of hydrogen (protons). The external magnetic field is created by a large coil. This field interacts with the hydrogen atoms in the patient's body to form images. a) To see why an MRI utilizes iron to increase the magnetic field created by a coil, calculate the current needed in a 420-loop-per-meter circular coil 0.66 m in radius to create a 1.3 T field (typical of an MRI instrument) at its center with no iron present. /= A Introducing ferromagnetic materials inside coils greatly increases the magntic field inside the coil for a small…arrow_forwardMagnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is one of the most useful and rapidly growing medical imaging tools.
