BIO MAGNETIC FIELDS AND MRI. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a powerful imaging method that, unlike x-ray imaging, allows sharp images of soft tissue to be made without exposing the patient to potentially damaging
An important consideration is that the net magnetic field of any nucleus, except for that of hydrogen (which has a proton only), consists of contributions from both protons and neutrons. If a nucleus has an even number of protons and neutrons, they will pair in such a way that half of the protons have spins in one orientation and half have spins in the other orientation. Thus the net magnetic moment of the nucleus is zero. Only nuclei with a net magnetic moment are candidates for MRI. Hydrogen is the atom that is most commonly imaged.

- 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 400-loop-per-meter circular coil 0.665 m in radius to create a 1.1 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_forwardA beam of protons is fired into a region of uniform magnetic field with a speed of 80200 m/s.

- A common way to focus a beam of charged particles is to use an electric field and a magnetic field together. Based on the relative strength and orientation of the two fields, you can tune the Coulomb and Lorentz forces to direct the beam of particles. This technique is common in mass spectrometers and scanning electron microscopes. You want to focus a beam of positively charged particles moving in the -z direction.

- Magnetic 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_forward4.
