Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). gives higher resolution images in three steps:. Strong magnets cause protons in brain tissue to line up in parallel. A pulse of radio waves knocks protons over. Protons reconfigure themselves, emitting radio waves that differ by tissue density.. Katrina . Peariso. , MD, PhD;. Prem A Kandiah, MD. Slides. : George A. Lopez, MD PhD. ENLS Version 5.0. Approach to the Patient with Coma. Editors’ Note: Global Considerations. The intent of the editors, authors, and reviewers of this ENLS topic was not to address all the variations in international practice for the different diseases.
