7 How is excitation achieved? Precession Alignment Protons in the magnetic field Thermal equilibrium RF Pulse Larmor Frequency Resonance Remember, protons are moving (spinning) charged particles, Known as spins Protons, align at an angle to the magnetic field Because protons spin, on an angle, they begin to wobble or precess -Wobble or precess like a spinning top -Precess at a specific rate, or frequency known as the Precessional Frequency or the Larmor Frequency This frequency describes the energy that keeps the spins in thermal equilibrium It is this energy that can knock the spins from thermal equilibrium (excite the spins) precessional path spin Slide # 37 Slide # 38 Wobbling Top & Precession Precessional frequency wobbling path precessional path We can determine the energy required to excite the spins In order to calculate this energy we need several components The magnetic moment of the proton The spin angular momentum of the proton The field strength of the magnet Precessional Frequency spin spin This frequency describes the energy that keep the spins in thermal equilibrium It is this energy that can knock the spins from thermal equilibrium spin A Top wobbles because of A proton precessses (in the magnet) because of The weight of the top The magnetic moment of the proton The rate of spin (how fast it spins) The rate of spin (spin angular momentum) The gravity of the earth The magnetic field strength Slide # 39 Slide # 40 Larmor Frequency Units of Measure for Frequency In order to calculate the precessional (Larmor) frequency The magnetic moment of the proton The spin angular momentum of the proton Gyro-magnetic ratio = γ Magneto-gyric ratio = γ The field strength of the magnet Magnetic field strength = This is known as the Larmor equation Larmor or Precessional Frequency = ωο ωo = ΒO γ Magnetic field strength = Βο Gyro-magnetic ratio = γ Magneto-gyric ratio = γ Precessional frequency spin Precessional Path One cycle The Larmor Equation calculates the precessional frequency Precessional Frequency or Larmor frequency - The rate at which the spins wobble, or precess Wobble or precess in cycles per second -One cycle is once around the processional path -One cycle is one sine wave -One cycle per second = I Hertz (Hz) - MHz, megahertz = 1,000,000 cycles per second Slide # 41 Slide # 42 7
8 Larmor Equation Gyromagnetic Ratio A trick to remember the Larmor Equation Whoa y! One can imagine that a proton wobbles pretty rapidly, hence whoa! The gyro-magnetic ratio is constant for each chemical. ωo Frequency = ωο = ΒO γ Magnetic field strength = Βο Gyro-magnetic ratio = γ Magneto-gyric ratio = γ ωo = ΒOγ Here s the actual equation Gyromagnetic ratio (γ) or the Magneto-gyric ratio (γ) for several chemicals 1H (hydrogen) 42.6 MHz/T 19F (fluorine) 40.1 MHz/T 31P (phosphorous) 17.2 MHz/T Slide # 43 Slide # 44 Calculating the Larmor Frequency ωo γ for 1H (hydrogen) = 42.6 MHz/T If the Field strength () is 1.0 Tesla Then ωο = (1.0T) x (42.6 MHz/T) ωο = 42.6 MHz (Megahertz) = ΒO γ γ for 1H (hydrogen) = 42.6 MHz/T If the Field strength () is 1.5 Tesla Then ωο = () x (42.6 MHz/T) ωο = 63.9 MHz (Megahertz) Radiofrequency Energy? Do we use radiation in MR? Electromagnetic spectrum -rays High energy Ionizing radiation MR Radiofrequency Low energy on-ionizing At the frequency is roughly 64 MHz.
