20
Q

a technique that uses a magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed images of the organs and tissues within the body.

A

Magnetic Resonance imaging (MRI)

21
Q

Nikola Tesla discovered the Rotating Magnetic Field in 1882 in Hungary

A

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

22
Q

discovered the Rotating Magnetic Field in 1882 in Hungary

A

Nikola Tesla

23
Q

observed the quantum phenomenon dubbed nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR).

A

1937, Professor Isidor I. Rabi

24
Q

He recognized that the atomic nuclei show their presence by absorbing or emitting radiowaves when exposed to a sufficiently strong magnetic field.

A

Professor Isidor I. Rabi

25
Q

a physician, discovered that hydrogen signal in cancerous tissue is different from that of healthy tissue because tumors contain more water.

A

Raymond Damadian

26
Q

a chemist, produced the first NMR image.

A

1973, Paul Lauterbur

27
Q

Components of MRI

A
  • Magnet
  • Gradient Coils
  • Radio Frequency (RF) coils
  • MRI Patient Table
  • Antenna/Computer System
28
Q

Has a horizontal tube that runs through the magnet and is called a bore.

A

Magnet

29
Q

Most MRI magnets use a magnetic field of 0.5 to 2.0 tesla. (Earth’s magnetic field is only 0.5 gauss.)

A

Magnet

30
Q

The magnetic field is produced by passing current through multiple coils that are inside the

A

Magnet

31
Q

create a variable field (x, y, z) that can be increased or decreased to allow specific and different parts of the body to be scanned by altering and adjusting the main magnetic field.

A

Gradient coils

32
Q

Transmit radio frequency waves into the patient’s body.

A

Frequency (RF) Coils

33
Q

There are different coils located inside the MRI scanner to transmit waves into different body parts.

A

Frequency (RF) coils

34
Q

If a certain area of the body is specified, then all the RF coils usually become focused on the body part being imaged to allow for a better scan

A

Frequency (RF) coils

35
Q

This component simply slides the patient into the MRI machine.

A

Patient table

36
Q

The position at which the patient lies down on the table is determined by the part of the body that is being scanned.

A

Patient table

37
Q

Area under examination is placed in the exact centre of the magnetic field (isocentre).

A

Patient table

38
Q

detects the RF signals emitted by a patient’s body and feeds this information into the computer system.

A

Antenna

39
Q

function is to receive, record, and analyze the images of the patient. It interprets the data produce an understandable image.

A

The computer system
