2 Magnetic Resonance Imaging imaging = spatial discrimination

3 What nuclei can be used for imaging? adapted from wikipedia:

4 For conventional imaging (x-ray) imaging properties are given by the geometry of the light path.

5 Electromagnetic Spectrum Frequency range for MRI: MHz Wavelength: MHz ~ 470cm

6 Magnetic Resonance Imaging Objects that are smaller than the wave length cannot be imaged (geometric imaging not possible!)

7 Magnetic Resonance Imaging Sample in a homogenous magnetic field B 0 B 0 = B 0 B 0 x All magnetic moments precess with the same frequency, i.e., with the Larmor frequency

8 Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Gradients Swichable, linear magnetic field gradients independently in x, y and z direction Magnetic Field Gradients B(x,y,z) B 0 +Gr B 0 Position (x,y,z) Gradients are used to give protons different Larmor frequencies at different positions! x Gx x ν() r ( B e Gr) G y y 0 z y z B0 Gzz

9 Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Gradients Sample in a homogenous magnetic field B 0 with gradient field G z B (x) = B 0 + G x x) B 0 x There is a 1:1 correspondence between the frequency and the position!

10 Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Slice Selection Frequency of B 1 field is = B 0 (resonance condition) B 1 : Result: 90 degrees pulse!

11 Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Slice Selection Frequency of B 1 field is > B 0 (off resonance condition) B 1 : Result: 32 degrees pulse!

12 Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Slice Selection Frequency of B 1 field is >> B 0 (off resonance condition) B 1 : Result: 1 degrees pulse!

13 Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Slice Selection eff rot dm M B dt eff B B B Effective B1 depends on frequency of B1 field:

54 Summary: Part II Gradients induce a linear change in magnetic fields along one spatial direction. As a result, gradients induce a linear change in the larmor frequency of the magnetization with position (related by the Fourier transform). In combination with an exitation field, slice selection can be achieved. Using back transform (this is CT!), the spatial dependency in the precession frequency can be used to generate an image. The variation in the spatial frequency (and phase) from switching gradients in different orthogonal directions is stored in k-space. Fourier transform related k-space with image space. Gradient echoes are recalled with gradients, spin-echoes using a 180 pulse.
