Phisics … Spin …is a fundamental property of nature. Spin comes in multiples of 1/2 and can be + or -. … two or more particles with spins having opposite signs can pair up to eliminate the observable manifestations of spin Imagenología por Resonancia Magnética
Phisics… Max Plank a particle can undergo a transition between the two energy states by the absorption of a photon The energy E of a photon is related to its frequency υ called resoanance frequency, by Plank´s constant h. E= υ h
Properties of Spin A particle with a net spin in a magnetic field B, can absorb a photon of a frequency υ. The frequency υ depends on the gyromagnetic ratio γof the particle υ = γB γH= 42.58 MHz/T Imagenología por Resonancia Magnética
Electromagnetic Spectrum Imagenología por Resonancia Magnética
Energy Level Diagrams E = hγB When the energy of the photon matches the energy difference between the two spin states an absorption of energy occurs Imagenología por Resonancia Magnética

At Equilibrium Mz = Mo Mxy = 0
Relaxation Time If enough energy is put into the system with a frequency equal to the resonance frequency…
Relaxation Time Mz = 0 Mxy ≠ 0
Relaxation Time T2 Mxy ≠ 0 Mz = 0
Relaxation Time T2 The time constant which describes the return to equilibrium of the transverse magnetization Mxy = 0 Mz = 0
