Homogeneity and SAR minimization. The Fourier Transform. Development of Fourier Analysis. In 1748 Leonhard Euler used linear combinations of “normal modes” to describe the motion of a vibrating string. If the configuration at some point in time is a linear combination of normal modes, so is the configuration at any subsequent time. Gradients (Continued), Signal Acquisition and K-Space Sampling. Spin Echo and Gradient Echo. When the . prephasing. gradient is applied the spins accumulate phase (differently with location). After the 180° pulse, they will continue to accumulate phase under the influence of the readout gradient and will refocus at the echo time.. Basic pulse sequences. Gradient Echo (GRE). A class of pulse sequences that is primarily used for fast scanning. 3D volume imaging. Cardiac imaging. Gradient reversal on the frequency-encoded axis forms the echo. QUIZ 1. :. . Sequences.

Superconducting magnets use a special wire which loses all resistance when cooled to -270 degrees Centigrade. This requires liquid helium to surround the magnet wire. Current is applied to the wire during instillation, which generates the magnetic field as it flows. Superconducting magnets are normally FULLY ENERGIZED at all times.. Magnetization, . Relaxation, Bloch Equation, . Basic Radiofrequency . (RF) Pulse Shapes. Felix Bloch. “ The magnetic moments of nuclei in normal matter will results in a nuclear paramagnetic polarization upon establishment of equilibrium in a constant magnetic field. It is shown that a radio-frequency (RF) field at right angles to the constant field causes a forced precession of the total polarization around the constant field with decreasing latitude as the . Safety Background. The MRI scanner is a very large and powerful magnet. Most clinical scanners are 1.5 - 3 Tesla scanners. 3 Tesla = 30,000 gauss. Earths magnetic field ~ 0.5 gauss. MRI SAFETY. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is one of the most powerful medical diagnostic technologies, combining strong magnetic fields with powerful computer image processing..
