Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a type of scanner that uses strong magnetic field and radio waves to produce complete images inside the body. An MRI scanner is a large tube that contains strong magnets. The patient lie inside the tube during the scan. The MRI scanner is used to observe almost any part of the body including the brain and spinal cord‚ bones and joints‚ breasts‚ heart and blood vessels and internal organs such as the liver‚ womb or prostate gland. The results of an MRI scan can

Chapter 4‚ page 1 4 Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Pieter Zeeman observed in 1896 the splitting of optical spectral lines in the field of an electromagnet. Since then‚ the splitting of energy levels proportional to an external magnetic field has been called the "Zeeman effect". The "Zeeman resonance effect" causes magnetic resonances which are classified under radio frequency spectroscopy (rf spectroscopy). In these resonances‚ the transitions between two branches of a single energy level

INTRODUCTION: Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI) is a non invasive medical imaging method widely used in hospitals and in research. In year 1946 Felix Bloch of Standard /university and Edward Purcell of Harvard University made the first succesful nuclear magnetic resonance experiment to study chemical compounds‚ they were awarded the Nobel Prize for physics in 1952. In early 1980 ’s the first human magnetic resonance imaging( MRI) scanners became available‚ producing images of the inside of the

Magnetic ink is very useful because it is readable both by humans and by specialized equipment. It is one of the components that makes it possible to process personal checks securely‚ quickly and accurately. Magnetic ink character recognition (MICR) is a character-recognition technology used mainly by the banking industry to ease the processing and clearance of cheques and other documents. The MICR encoding‚ called the MICR line‚ is at the bottom of cheques and other vouchers and typically includes

History and Science Behind MRI: Open or Closed Case? Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has been called one of the most comprehensive and efficacious diagnostic imaging modalities in medical history. It became a viable clinical technique in 1982 and during its relatively short lifetime has become the primary imaging modality for investigations of the brain‚ spinal cord‚ spine‚ cancellous bone‚ and joints. It is widely used for the identification and staging of tumors‚ investigations of large

MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has developed into one of the most versatile techniques in clinical imaging and biomedical research by providing non-invasively high resolution‚ three-dimensional anatomical and contrast-enhanced images of living tissue. The two most common groups of contrast-enhancing agents are gadolinium-based complexes and magnetic nanoparticles. Both types of contrast agents shorten locally the relaxation time of bulk water protons via rapid exchange

ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION Electromagnetic induction is the production of an electromotive force across a conductor when it is exposed to a varying magnetic field. It is described mathematically by Faraday’s law of induction‚ named after Michael Faraday who is generally credited with the discovery of induction in 1831. Electromagnetic induction was discovered independently by Michael Faraday and Joseph Henry in 1831; however‚ Faraday was the first to publish the results of his experiments.[4][5] In
