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.
27.84 Which of following elements is a candidate for MRI?
(a) 12C6; (b) 16O8: (C) 40Ca20; (d) 31P15.

- The magnetic field in a cyclotron is 1.25 T, and the maximum orbital radius of the circulating protons is 0.40 m. (a) What is the kinetic energy of the protons when they are ejected from the cyclotron? (b) What Is this energy in MeV? (c) Through what potential difference would a proton have to be accelerated to acquire this kinetic energy? (d) What is the period of tire voltage source used to accelerate the piotons? (e) Repeat tire calculations for alpha-particles.arrow_forward(a) Viewers of Star Trek have heard of an antimatter drive on the Starship Enterprise. One possibility for such a futuristic energy swore is to store antimatter charged particles in a vacuum chamber, circulating in a magnetic field, and then exact them as needed Antimatter annihilates normal matter, producing pure energy. What strength magnetic field is needed to hold antiprotons, moving at 5.0 × l0 m/s in a circular path 2.00 m in radius? Antiprotons have the same mass as protons but the opposite (negative) charge. (b) Is this field strength obtainable with today’s technology or is it a futuristic possibility?arrow_forwardThe power output of the Sun is 41026 W. (a) If 90% of this energy is supplied by the proton-proton chain, how many protons are consumed per second? (b) How many neutrinos per second should there be per square meter at the surface of Earth from this process?arrow_forward

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.
