Module 2 Flashcards
occurs when an object with a certain precessional frequency is subjected to a force that has the same precessional frequency
resonance
excitation that matches the precessional frequency of hydrogens atoms at a certain filed strength
RF pulse
can cause some energy of low spin up to change to high spin up
application of RF pulse
higher RF pulse to match processional frequency
higher strength magnet
RF pulse does not match larmor frequency of hydrogen atom
no resonance occurs
Resonance occurs, NMV moves out of alignment with B(o)
at angle with B(o)
flip angle
most common fip angle
90
main magnetic filed plane
longitudinal
fip angle plane
transverse plane
when magnetic moments are on same point in precessional path
maximum signal
in phase
coherent
magnetic moments are not on teh same point in precessional path
minimal or no signal
out of phase
in-coherent
RF pulse turned off NMV realigns with B(o)
relaxation
process when hydrogen loses energy
atoms that moved to high state will return to low state
relaxation
longitudianl plane
recovery
transverse plane
decay
