SOTO, J.A.; CORDOVA, T.; SOSA, M. e JEREZ, S.. Quantum-mechanical aspects of magnetic resonance imaging. Rev. mex. fís. E [online]. 2017, vol.63, n.1, pp.48-55. ISSN 1870-3542.
The Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive technique which uses the physical phenomenon of nuclear magnetic resonance to obtain structural and compositional information about human body regions. In this imaging study we use the radio-frequency and a powerful static magnetic field, which aligns the magnetization of hydrogen nuclei. Nowadays there are many types of clinical equipment that conduct MRI studies, which have intensities of magnetic fields from 0.2T to 7.0T. Moreover, liquid helium is required for the superconducting coil. This paper presents an analysis of the magnetic resonance phenomenon; by doing a review of the quantum-mechanical aspects as the spin and Zeeman effect.
