Description of how MRI sequences spatially encode nuclei in the read and phase direction

Differences that occur in an induced magnetization in biological tissues in a magnetic field cause image contrast in MRI. A signal measured by the receiver coils is the integral of an induced magnetization over the whole imaged volume. To construct a three-dimensional distribution of magnetization, a spatially varying field pattern is generated in the volume, such that voxels at various parts generate a signal that is tagged with data on the location. Standard techniques for spatial encoding in MRI create high-quality images. In magnetic resonance imaging technique, two main methods (SVD MRI and SMASH MRI) are used to modify ...

Assignment about MRI Physics

The magnetic moment is considered as a vector quantity whose direction is perpendicular to the current loop in a right-hand-rule direction. The magnetic moment of nuclei are the magnetic moment of the nucleus that arises from a spin of protons and neutrons. A magnetic moment of nuclei is dipole moment – the quadrupole moment causes a shift in the hyperfine structure (Mangrum, 2012). Nuclei with non-zero spin have a non-zero magnetic moment while that have zero spins have zero magnetic moments. Different isotopes of an element have a different nuclei magnetic moment. A nucleus with an even number of protons ...

Two little girl scouts made their way down the quite neighbourhood street, dragging a rickety wagon behind them. Its wheels squeaked on every rotation, burdened by the dozens of boxes of cookies. The girls very in a cheerful spirit, singing songs that children often sing, skipping after every step of two they took. It was a sunny day, yet the sun seemed a little dim, its light and warmth touching the earth, but not quite. Autumn was stirring, causing leaves to waft down from the drying branches of trees. The song of the girls, the beat of their steps, their intermittent giggling, and ...
