Formula for primary barrier thickness
P=BWUT/d^2
In P=BWUT/d^2, what is B
Barrier transmission factor
P=BWUT/d^2, what is W?
Workload
P=BWUT/d^2, what is u?
use
P=BWUT/d^2, what is t?
occupancy
P=BWUT/d^2, what is d?
distance from target/ source of radiation
electromagnetic property with the same directionality as the magnetic moment in an atomic nucleus
magnetism
3 phases of MRI
magnetization, resonance, relaxation
The magnetic moments of the hydrogen atom, which were previously going in different directions, align in the same direction when a magnetic field is applied
resonance
when the external magnetic field disappears, the release of energy when and atom returns to its original state
relaxation
How is MR image created?
imaging the energy signals generated from relaxation of the hydrogen atoms
Can we image titanium with MRI
yes
Can we image craniofacial titanium plates?
Need to ask manufacturer. Due to being an alloy, there could be material that is not MRI safe.
