INTRODUCTION
• MRI is a technique in radiology which uses
magnetism, radio waves and a computer to produce
images of body structures.
• Human body is mainly composed of fat and water,
which makes the human body composed of about
63% hydrogen.
• Why Are Protons Important to MRI?
Positively charged.
Spin about a central axis.
A moving (spinning) charge creates a magnetic field.
HISTORY
• The first MRI image was published in 1973.
• The first studies perform on human were published
in 1997.
• Created by Dr Raymond V. Damadian, Dr.Larry
Minkoff and Dr.Michael Goldsmith.
• In 2003,nobel prize in physiology or medicine was
awarded to Paul Lauterbur and Peter Mansfiled for
their contribution to;
Made new MRI techniques.
Faster and more efficient.
DEFINITION
• MRI is a imaging technique that uses a
magnetic field and radio waves to create
a detailed image of organs and tissues in
the body.
COMPONENTS
• A magnet which produces a very powerful
uniform magnetic field.
• Gradient Magnets which are much lower
in strength.
• RF Coils to transmit radio frequency.
• A very powerful computer system, which
translates the signals transmitted by the
coils.
NO
PRINCIPLE
• MRI is based on measurement of energy
emitted from hydrogen nuclei following
their stimulation by radio-frequency signals.
• The energy emitted varies according to the
tissues from which the signals emanate.
• This allow MRI to distinguish between
tissues.
HOW DOES THE MRI WORK?
• Magnets produce strong magnetic field
that forces protons in the body to align
with that field.
• Radiofrequency current is then pulsed
through the patient.
• The protons are stimulated,and spin out
of equilibrium,straining against the pull of
the magnetic field.
• Now radiofrequency field is turned off.
HOW DOES THE MRI WORK?
• MRI sensors detect the energy released as
the protons realign with magnetic field.
• Time taken by the protons to realign with
the magnetic field, and the amount of
energy released,changes depend upon
environment and chemical nature of
molecules.
WHY IT’s DONE?
• MRI can be used to detect:
Brain and Spinal cord’s medical conditions
i.e. tumors, stroke
Heart and Blood vessels medical
conditions i.e. structural problem in
aorta,inflammation in blood vessels.
WHY IT’s DONE?
joint abnormalities
can be used with mammography
bone infections
liver abnormality
kidney abnormality
ADVANTAGES
• Non invasive technique
• Provide very detailed diagnostic pictures of
most of the important organs and tissues in
your body.
• Ability to diagnose, visualize, and evaluate
various illnesses.
• Did not use radiation and are therefore suitable
for use in children and pregnant women.
RISKS
• It is a lengthy procedure eg, a pituitary gland
MRI scan can take up to 30 minutes”.
• MRI scanning cannot be performed in the
presence of foreign bodies or metallic
implants “eg, pacemakers”.
• Some people may experience claustrophobia.
• It is relatively expensive compared with other
forms of imaging.
