Magnetic Resonance Imaging • Tube shaped machine
• Uses a magnetic field and radio frequency waves • Body chemical composition and tissue structure contribute to form image contrast
• Computer generated image
• Special terms • High signal (white or bright), Low signal (dark grey or dark), Isointense (equal density)

Magnetic Resonance Imaging • Advantages:
• No ionizing radiation (no x-rays)
• Sensitive to slight chemical difference
• Three dimensional study
• Capable of showing fine anatomic structure
• Angiography can be done non-invasively

MRI Principles
• Hydrogen ions in the magnetic field of the MRI machine align with a small net dipole(1)
• Application of a radio frequency causes ions to move to a higher energy state(2-3) (Blue arrow) 6/12/2012 DEPARTMENT OF RADIOLOGY 7

MRI Principles
• When the frequency is removed the ions begin to return to prior state releasing energy(4 – 5)
• Resulting radiofrequency is measured and localized to create an image(Changing bl )
