Compre reviewer Flashcards
a continuously changing flow of electrons that alternates its polarity at a periodic rate.
AC ( alternating current)
the total number of independent data samples in the frequency (f) and phase (f) directions.
ACQUISITION MATRIX
the process of measuring and storing image data.
Acquisition
the period of time required to collect the image data. This time does not include the time necessary to reconstruct the image.
ACQUISITION TIME
large network of interconnecting blood vessels at the base of the brain that when visualized resembles a circle.
CIRCLE OF WILLIS
the act of maintaining a constant phase relationship between oscillating waves or rotating objects.
COHERENCE
a variation in the nominal Larmor frequency for a particular isotope within the imaging volume. The amount of shift introduced is directly proportional to the strength of the magnetic field, and is specified in parts per million (ppm) of the resonant frequency.
CHEMICAL SHIFT
an artifact introduced into images by interference between adjacent slices of a scan. This artifact can be eliminated by limiting the minimum spacing between slices.
CROSSTALK
a type of magnet that utilizes coils of wire, typically wound on an iron core, so that as current flows through the coil it becomes magnetized.
ELECTROMAGNET
an induced spurious electrical current produced by time-varying magnetic fields. Eddy currents can cause artifacts in images and may seriously degrade overall magnet performance.
EDDY CURRENT
a fast spin echo pulse sequence characterized by a series of rapidly applied 180° rephasing pulses and multiple echoes, changing the phase encoding gradient for each echo.
FAST SPIN ECHO (FSE)
This was a fundamental discovery in physics.

best known for many revolutionary contributions in the field of electricity and magnetism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Nikola Tesla
Recommended limit for constant human exposure
2mG
The CGS unit for magnetic induction was named gauss in his honour
Carl Friedrich Gauss
centimeter gram second system of units
CGS
best known for initiating the investigation of Fourier series and their application to problems of heat flow.
Jean Baptiste Joseph Fourier
s a mathematical procedure to separate out the frequency components of a signal from its amplitudes as a function of time
Fourier Transform
developed the equation that the angular frequency of precession of the nuclear spins being proportional to the strength of the magnetic field.

states that no two identical fermions may occupy the same quantum state simultaneously.
Pauli exclusion principle
introduced the concept of a spinning electron, with resultant angular momentum and a magnetic dipole moment arising from the spinning electrical charge
George Eugene Uhlenbeck
succeeded in detecting and measuring single states of rotation of atoms and molecules, and in determining the mechanical and magnetic moments of the nuclei.
Isidor Isaac Rabi
Published “A New Method of Measuring Nuclear Magnetic Moment” in 1938, where the first MR signal from LiCl was reported.
Isidor Isaac Rabi
First to demonstrate the phenomenon of paramagnetic relaxation.
Cornelius Jacobus Gorter
discovered electron paramagnetic resonance in 1944.

In September 1937, he and his co-worker Broer, reported unsuccessful attempts to observe nuclear magnetic resonance in pure crystalline materials.
Cornelius Jacobus Gorter
In 1937, He observed the quantum phenomenon dubbed nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). He recognized that the atomic nuclei show their presence by absorbing or emitting radio waves when exposed to a sufficiently strong magnetic field.
Isidor I. Rabi
In 1946 , They discover magnetic resonance phenomenon.
