Principles of MRI: Magnetic Fields and Radiofrequency Waves Magnetic Fields Radiofrequency Waves Image Formation MRI systems utilize powerful, static magnetic fields to align the hydrogen protons in the body, which act as tiny magnets. The unique properties of the emitted RF signals, such as frequency and intensity, are used to reconstruct detailed, high- resolution images of the body's internal structures. Radiofrequency (RF) waves are then applied to the body, causing the aligned protons to absorb and re-emit energy, which is detected and processed into images. © Next Move Strategy Consulting
Key MRI Modalities and Their Applications Neuroimaging Cardiovascular Imaging Musculoskeletal Imaging Abdominal Imaging MRI is extensively used to diagnose and monitor neurological conditions, such as brain tumors, Alzheimer's disease, and stroke. Cardiac MRI provides detailed information about the structure and function of the heart, aiding in the detection of heart disease. MRI is invaluable for diagnosing and monitoring injuries and conditions affecting the bones, joints, and soft tissues. MRI can visualize the abdomen and pelvis, enabling the diagnosis of conditions in the liver, kidneys, and other organs. © Next Move Strategy Consulting
Advances in MRI Imaging: From Diagnostics to Interventional Procedures Functional MRI (fMRI) Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) Measures brain activity to understand cognitive function and support the diagnosis of neurological disorders. Tracks the movement of water molecules in the brain to map neural pathways and white matter structure. Interventional MRI Hybrid Imaging Enables minimally invasive surgical procedures by providing real-time guidance and monitoring during the procedure. Combines MRI with other modalities, such as PET or CT, to provide comprehensive diagnostic information. © Next Move Strategy Consulting
