MRI (Magnetic Resonance imaging) يسيطانغملا ن ينرلا

❑ Uses an enormously powerful electromagnetalignصري all the unbound protons in your body (coming from body water H2O = 2 protons)

with the poles of the magnet.
❑ The protons are then ENERGIZED by external magnetic field.
❑ After they're energized' they will emit energy as they return to their 'home ‘position. (Healthy tissue ➔ back rapid, unhealthy tissue back
slow)
❑ Specialized antennae لايراinside the machine 'listen' for these energies and map them, in 3D create images of the anatomy of the

subject.
❑ Extremely powerful computers take the data from the millions of mapped signals and recreate images, either in 3D form, or in 'slices'.
❑ The contrast between different tissues is determined by the rate at which excited atom return to equilibrium state.
