ANIMATIONS for MRI Animations for NMR/MRI Animations in Mathematica by Matson
Classical Precession of Nuclear Spin • Precession of nuclear spin about the applied field along the Z axis • Classical mechanics picture
Classical Precession of Nuclear Spin • Classical picture of nuclear precession: • System would lose energy by radiation
Classical Precession of Multiple Spins • Precession of multiple spins aligned along and against the magnetic field • More spins aligned along than against the magnetic field • No net transverse component
Net Nuclear Spins and Resultant M0 • Net nuclear spins and resulting nuclear magnetization M0 • Can use M0 instead of individual nuclear spins
Rotating Frame • The gray platform illustrates the rotating frame • From the viewpoint of the rotating frame the nuclear magnetization M0 appears stationary
Tipping of Magnetization by RF • Tipping of magnetization M0 by an on-resonance RF field • M0 can be tipped into the transverse plane
Tipping of Magnetization by RF • Tipping of magnetization M0 by an off-resonance RF field • M0 does not go through the negative Z axis
Tipping of Magnetization by RF • Two views of off-resonance irradiation
