Magnetic resonance imaging
From NMR Wiki
Also known as MRI, it's a technique that used resonance of nucleus ( it's also possible with electron resonance ) to acquire the reciprocal space of the spin density, and also relaxation properties. This is possible by using gradients in different direction. This gradients could affect the nuclear spin ( most of the time we consider proton from water, and less frequently another single spin system ) in different ways :
- changing the resonance frequency
- changing the frequency that is required to excite the nucleus
- changing the relative phases
Gradients could be used in two ways :
- apply gradients longer
- apply stronger gradients
Imagery is used for several purpose, like :
- routine medical imagery
- biomedical research imagery
- batteries
- other materials
