The actual physics and operation were explained well!
Are you referring to multiplanar reformation for 3D images? What would be an example of a 3D MRI that does not rely on Fourier transform for 3D modeling?
Step by step,we're just seeing the final result of a bunch of tiny discovers and people going "Oh if I put these 2 together something happens". Someone probably noticed radio-waves through water release energy. Probably wondered then how much/at what frequency. Why is it only some water and not all of it? - Discovered water has their own specific magneticness to them. What if we matched another magnet outside that emits radio-waves and bounced the frequency back? We get a 1 dimensional point of data back. How do we make it 2nd dimensional? Spin it around the object from different angles - in a circle would cover every angle. How do we make it 3d? Take a ton of 2nd dimensional images in a tube and stitch them together. Spinny tube shaped thing with magnets in it that detects water, aka an MRI. This was a rough idea of how I think it may have been discovered/invented. Its not accurate to how it actually was invented, but rather to be like, an example of how ideas come from other ideas, but then all together become something that would seem impossible if not for following that path of puzzles and curiosities.
They turn every low energy water molecule into an even darker area. Because they don't resonate with the magnetic field, the incoming radio wave that has the same frequency as the magnetic field will be reflected, while those that resonate will transmit or absorbed the radio wave . It basically the breaking cup with voice . Of the cup is moving that means it has absorbed the energy , which means the sound will be less loud .
I'm having some residual noise a few days after - not fond of that! But when the clanging is going on I count the patterns: 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-etc. and it's really helpful. It makes me feel like I"m part of the process.
Is it possible for an MRI machine to be improperly magnetized and cause a patient to have after effects from some kind of increased magnetism of their body?
@@kristenkell5153 An MRI machine goes through a great deal of safety nets before they’re ready for clinical use. I’ve heard of one story where a patient said they felt like their whole body was “spinning” even after the scan. Everyone is different and it’s my job to screen each person before they are even laying on the table.
@@kristenkell5153 Yup, typical symptoms include nausea, dizyness and slight loss of balance. Headache if you work all day around the more powerful ones. But they have no know long lasting efrects FOR NOW (and they probably won't discover some, but you never know for sure)
I have a doubt.... What happens when all hydrogen molecules starts rotating in magnetic field... At that time there will not be any use of radio waves right?.. Then how the image can be formed?
It's totally worth it, I've worked in all 3 fields and am currently working in MRI. You're a lot more in charge of parameters and image quality in this field out of the three. Enjoy!
The technician didn't tell me the radio waves would increase my body temperature. As soon as she turned the machine on, my body felt warm and I began to panic. I thought if was going to be like this for another 25 minutes I might as well get out now. They give you a panic button to click, but I chose to focus on my breathing and stayed in anyway. The heat sensation came and went a few times. It wasn't too hot in my case, but it was a rather alarming experience without knowing it was coming.
I got two mris and didnt feel this either time. Actually... last time it was quite cold in the room and the techs had to retake an image because I was shaking a bit
That feeling is quite unfrequent on adults with nowadays equipment, certainly could happen often in extense scanned areas(such as spinal cord, abdomen vs just knee, foot,etc)or lots of sequences (T1,T2,FLAIR,etc) in order to obtain more and useful images to support your diagnosis
@@mcazares48 It can raise your temperature a couple of degrees. The sensation was that I was getting cooked specifically in the area of the machine's focus during both the lumbar and cervical scans. I meant to ask the tech about this at the end of the appointment, but didn't get to see her. I asked my chiropractor about it instead, and he said it's very uncommon, and that there are several theories as to why it occurs. But no, it's not just panic.
plz correct me if i am wrong but the gradient magnetic filed produced by AC current (in x, y, and z direction) is so that 3D image can be produced. The entire concept is based on Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, chemists use NMR spectroscopy but we dont use the gradient in x, y, z, because we don't need it. In MRI as far as i remember gradient along one plane (transverse plane )allows to control the thickness of the slice , another to calculate the amplitude of signal at each point in the slice and the gradient in the last orthogonal plane the phase. so the thing that was said about the brain , the lungs etc is not really precise as the image is made of many very thin slices.
This is a bit simplistic. When body placed in magnet, the hydrogen protons precess and have a resulting magnetic field either inphase or antiphase with a small net value inphase with mri field so body is like a bar magnet. The application of rf at the lamor frequency (resonant) frequency would not produce an image without the appllication of gradient pulses which alter the magnetic field in a linear way. The rf puls basically flips the net magnetization 90 degrees, then when the pulse removed, the net magnetisation moves back to inline with magnet field and as it does this, the sigal from the body can be measured.

I had MRI this week and as a engineer I always wondered how does this actual work but after finding out I'm a little more baffled that I was before... Amazing
I was recommended by my ortho surgeon to undergo an MRI. My question is I have a piece of iron inside one of my tooth as a result of dental root canal. The iron however is covered by a porcelain crown. Can I take the MRI procedure?
Probably far, far too late, but anyway: please do not ask such questions in the comment section of a YT vid. Go ask your radiologist. They do know best. I don't understand how reliable of an answer you are expecting from here.
Yeah... You need to learn a lot of things before completely understanding this video. Like. Dipole of a molecular And How electromagnetic waves forms. And How a magnetic dipole interact with a magnetic field..... Mainly these things
No. Had an MRI on my lumbar spine several years ago. Felt fine afterward. My only complaint was the amount of time I had to lie on my back for the scan. Borrring.
Was feeling very anxious for my MRI tomorrow, for a brain tumor and some other… kinda small tumors/bubbles/idk what they are around my body. This helped me calm down a bit,
Uh--they work to get images of the HARD tissue as well. They're so comforting--they give you earplugs and headphones and with the patterns of sound and the nice blanket and socks they provide, don't be surprised if you fall asleep (I have)!
I had my vision become blurry but I guess it's because you have to lay still the whole time staring at nothing. What I didn't enjoy was the spasms in my legs tho.
I have a question. I need to get an Mri scan for my lower back for soft tissue damage i think. Will i have to get any kind of shot or needle in me because needles are my greatest fear and i can’t handle it
@@kushalparekh1017 Well, as someone super sensitive to noise I asked to be able to wear both the ear plugs and the headphones though I'm not sure if you'll have both choices. After that, for me as an audiophile? I *LOVED* it. I heard the entire thing as sequences of music, like if you could record all the noises and section them you could make some amazing music. I kept my eyes closed most of the time but I also don't have any issues with enclosed spaces. Either way if you love music I recon that if you just close your eyes and concentrate on all the rhythms you'll be okay; you might even enjoy the process! A lot of people do! For me it was relaxing. **Tips** (with explanations; for TLDR, skip to bottom.) *Clothes!* To make things simple if you don't want to have to change into their gowns, go in wearing clothes that don't have any metal on/in them like sweats, workout pants, a bra with no underwire if you're female, etc. *Jewelry!* If you have any jewelry/piercings you should take them off/out to be safe. (I know my case is rare but since it exists I figure I'll just leave this here.) If you can't take out/off the jewelry for whatever reason I suggest either going to a store and testing out your jewelry (through your clothes if you must) for magnetism because if they don't magnetize with a strong magnet you should be fine to keep them in for the MRI but otherwise, or just to be safe, just go in without any jewelry if you can, even if you have to get someone else to remove them or use toothpicks or nonmagnetic jewelry to replace them with. (My nose ring wouldn't unscrew so I had to grab a magnet haha but it turned out fine. Just do what you can and communicate with your technician if you can't get any jewelry out. They'll have options for you.) You can also ask for your results on a disk in most places if you want (though I have NO idea how to read mine it might be good to have a personal copy). And if they don't find anything reason and they don't off you a contrast for whatever reason ask them if an "MRI with contrast" might be helpful to you. I know nothing about this field other than it exists so I might just be saying unnecessary things, now. **TLDR/Conclusion** *But I can't think of anything else! I loved it! Wear non-metal clothes/jewelry for a simple in and out without having to change, close your eyes and enjoy the music!*
@@kushalparekh1017 Nope! :) Though I suggest that if you're prone to passing out you eat something. If you're nervous, I also wouldn't eat anything that would get your nerves even more worked up like sugar or caffeine. If you're the nauseous-nervous type I'm not sure how to advise.
D Kahn my scan was for my shoulder and I didnt feel anything out of the ordinary afterwards. I did notice my ears a little faded because of the loud noises. But i was safe to drive and everything afterwards. Im sure some water and a good meal before would keep you from being dizzy👍🤝
This video does not explain the MRI in a correct way. The magnets do not “rotate” as shown in the video!! The radio waves does not move at the same rate as the magnetic field!! The radio waves are tuned to the hydrogens larmour frequency!!! H2O are paramagnetic, which means they have a certain amount of magnetic properties. By placing the body in this magnetic field, called B0, you can align most of the water molecules along the magnetic field direction, while some other molecules align in the opposite direction. In general, most magnets are in the 1.5Tesla range which means that the water molecules will “rotate” (spin) linearly with the strength of the magnetic field. At 1T, the hydrogen atoms will rotate at around 42.58MHz per second (called Larmour Frequency). That means, in a 1.5T, they will rotate at around 63.87MHz per second. The gradient coil will do a linear increase of the magnetic field (in XYZ axis) when a gradient echo is applied, for example, at feet end we might have a 1.498T, increasing the magnetic field along the body linearly, and the skull/brain might get 1.506T. Remember when I said that the hydrogen spins/rotate linearly according to magnetic field strength? By creating this variation in magnetic field along the body with the help of the gradient coil, we are able to “slice” the body. We use a radio frequency signal that is TUNED to the larmour frequency of each hydrogen atom, that means, if we want to read the water composition at the brain (essentially the tissue water composition), we send a RF signal of approx 42.58MHz * 1.504T = 63.955MHz. The water molecules that rotate at this frequency, will respond (excite) to this signal, other water molecules will not. When the radio wave is shut off, the water molecules will go back to a resting state and send out a signal. By creating different RF-signals tuned to the different larmour frequencies along the body, we are able to read the signal of each water molecule. That’s the function of the so called “body coil”. It acts as a transceiver, both sending radio waves and listening to incoming signals; like a big ear waiting for the hydrogen screams. ;-) This was the simple way, I am writing on my phone so my fingers are quite tired now. :-)
Thanks for spot-on, clearly explaining. Others are full of lots of talks, jokes. This machine was known as Nuclear Resonance Imaging (NRI), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging (NMRI), & Magnetic Resonance Tomography (MRT) machine at first. (Great Britain, Sat 02 Jan 2021 0942)
So when you make a MRI appointment do you need a reason like when they ask why do need one if you when to a orthopaedic doctor like do you say my orthopaedic wants one or what?
This sounds like those tutorials that tell you to draw. Step 1: draw a circle. Step 2: Draw the owl. How the information received is translated into an actual 3 dimensional image is basically just ignored.
Those are the gradient coils vibrating. If you ever heard relays or motors humming when they are activated, it's similar, just a lot more current in these coils.
Please let us get this straight and more accurate as there is misinformation at 1:04. This MRI is a machine that HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE ENGINEERS AND SCIENTISTS AND MATHEMATICIANS use to extract and plot the invisible different situations existing in the human body. Once the information is plotted on a piece of paper or a monitor screen, it is then the doctors can diagnose the medical condition derived from the plotted results. In this video, the doctors and surgeons do not come into the picture as it is Big Magnet, The Gadient, Radio Waves, Computer, Sofware algorithms for the image processes that do it all.
Thank you, as a dimensional traveller, I have been searching for answers on how to control my own brain into time traveling or traveling back to my original timeline, before the world started changing on me. I have jumped over 4 times in the past month, it has something to do with ley lines and zodiac signs, combined with magnetic fields around us and our brains.
I feel like the video's explanation kind of yadda yadda's the link between the energy release from low-energy water molecules and the imaging software.
just the spins, the water isn't moving. the gradient coils after their impulse can be used to detect the decay of spins (the arrows in the vid). the net spin decay faster in some materials and slower in others, depending on it's composition
very simplified explanation. and the magnet that runs it is very expensive, and supercooled 24/7 with helium, again very expensive, and also installation, material and safety cost before the market premium from companies
How did anyone ever fathom inventing this. Incredible! My husband needs spinal surgery and is having a final MRI this morning.

I had my vision become blurry but I guess it's because you have to lay still the whole time staring at nothing. What I didn't enjoy was the spasms in my legs tho.
English isn't even my first language, but I understood this video better than the ones in my own language
Hello, what a great video ! Could you tell me with which kind of program/application you did it ?
I have a question. I need to get an Mri scan for my lower back for soft tissue damage i think. Will i have to get any kind of shot or needle in me because needles are my greatest fear and i can’t handle it
No
Depending if your attending physician recquired the scan with gadolinium IV contrast (not common on the kind of proccedure you are typing now).
so beautifully explained! subscribed right away ;)
Whoa I didnt know if water is magnetic
@@mohasahal1771 water is negligibly magnetic
I should have watched it before I went for my MRI
I just got home from my MRI and I completely agree; it would have made listening to all the sounds SO much more interesting than they already were.
@@HeritageDrPepper how was the MRI process ? im kinda scared what happens in there ..
@@kushalparekh1017 Well, as someone super sensitive to noise I asked to be able to wear both the ear plugs and the headphones though I'm not sure if you'll have both choices.
After that, for me as an audiophile? I *LOVED* it. I heard the entire thing as sequences of music, like if you could record all the noises and section them you could make some amazing music.
I kept my eyes closed most of the time but I also don't have any issues with enclosed spaces.
Either way if you love music I recon that if you just close your eyes and concentrate on all the rhythms you'll be okay; you might even enjoy the process! A lot of people do! For me it was relaxing.
**Tips** (with explanations; for TLDR, skip to bottom.)
*Clothes!*
To make things simple if you don't want to have to change into their gowns, go in wearing clothes that don't have any metal on/in them like sweats, workout pants, a bra with no underwire if you're female, etc.
*Jewelry!*
If you have any jewelry/piercings you should take them off/out to be safe.
(I know my case is rare but since it exists I figure I'll just leave this here.)
If you can't take out/off the jewelry for whatever reason I suggest either going to a store and testing out your jewelry (through your clothes if you must) for magnetism because if they don't magnetize with a strong magnet you should be fine to keep them in for the MRI but otherwise, or just to be safe, just go in without any jewelry if you can, even if you have to get someone else to remove them or use toothpicks or nonmagnetic jewelry to replace them with.
(My nose ring wouldn't unscrew so I had to grab a magnet haha but it turned out fine. Just do what you can and communicate with your technician if you can't get any jewelry out. They'll have options for you.)
You can also ask for your results on a disk in most places if you want (though I have NO idea how to read mine it might be good to have a personal copy).
And if they don't find anything reason and they don't off you a contrast for whatever reason ask them if an "MRI with contrast" might be helpful to you. I know nothing about this field other than it exists so I might just be saying unnecessary things, now.
**TLDR/Conclusion**
*But I can't think of anything else! I loved it! Wear non-metal clothes/jewelry for a simple in and out without having to change, close your eyes and enjoy the music!*
@@HeritageDrPepper Do they put any needle or IV for the examination ?
@@kushalparekh1017 Nope! :)
Though I suggest that if you're prone to passing out you eat something.
If you're nervous, I also wouldn't eat anything that would get your nerves even more worked up like sugar or caffeine.
If you're the nauseous-nervous type I'm not sure how to advise.
Am about to do this now
how'd it go?
i just finished my scan, went perfectly fine but the sounds made me wonder how it works
that's good :)
D Kahn my scan was for my shoulder and I didnt feel anything out of the ordinary afterwards. I did notice my ears a little faded because of the loud noises. But i was safe to drive and everything afterwards. Im sure some water and a good meal before would keep you from being dizzy👍🤝
OH yeah, the sound of the machine is called 'the father of dubstep'
This video does not explain the MRI in a correct way.
The magnets do not “rotate” as shown in the video!! The radio waves does not move at the same rate as the magnetic field!! The radio waves are tuned to the hydrogens larmour frequency!!!
H2O are paramagnetic, which means they have a certain amount of magnetic properties. By placing the body in this magnetic field, called B0, you can align most of the water molecules along the magnetic field direction, while some other molecules align in the opposite direction.
In general, most magnets are in the 1.5Tesla range which means that the water molecules will “rotate” (spin) linearly with the strength of the magnetic field. At 1T, the hydrogen atoms will rotate at around 42.58MHz per second (called Larmour Frequency).
That means, in a 1.5T, they will rotate at around 63.87MHz per second.
The gradient coil will do a linear increase of the magnetic field (in XYZ axis) when a gradient echo is applied, for example, at feet end we might have a 1.498T, increasing the magnetic field along the body linearly, and the skull/brain might get 1.506T. Remember when I said that the hydrogen spins/rotate linearly according to magnetic field strength? By creating this variation in magnetic field along the body with the help of the gradient coil, we are able to “slice” the body.
We use a radio frequency signal that is TUNED to the larmour frequency of each hydrogen atom, that means, if we want to read the water composition at the brain (essentially the tissue water composition), we send a RF signal of approx 42.58MHz * 1.504T = 63.955MHz. The water molecules that rotate at this frequency, will respond (excite) to this signal, other water molecules will not. When the radio wave is shut off, the water molecules will go back to a resting state and send out a signal. By creating different RF-signals tuned to the different larmour frequencies along the body, we are able to read the signal of each water molecule. That’s the function of the so called “body coil”. It acts as a transceiver, both sending radio waves and listening to incoming signals; like a big ear waiting for the hydrogen screams. ;-)
This was the simple way, I am writing on my phone so my fingers are quite tired now. :-)
If I had a dollar for every time an MRI machine was depicted as spinning like a CT scanner, I could buy my own machine.
I'm still lost 😔 how does it know to pick things up and send to the computer as a picture
they will never tell you.
Thank u very helpful 🙏
best explanation so far
Thanks for spot-on, clearly explaining. Others are full of lots of talks, jokes. This machine was known as Nuclear Resonance Imaging (NRI), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging (NMRI), & Magnetic Resonance Tomography (MRT) machine at first.

The fields and vectors while also understanding what patronage is and was… time and space for better matters.
Thank you so much ❤❤❤❤
Amazing explanation
very useful video thank you so much
The magnetic field doesn't spin, in the fashion that you're depicting.
So when you make a MRI appointment do you need a reason like when they ask why do need one if you when to a orthopaedic doctor like do you say my orthopaedic wants one or what?
basically our body is spinning with that thing
MRI Machine also called Torture machine :D
Just had one last week.
I almost fell asleep in it so it's really not that bad...
I must admit that I do sleep easely 😉
Does this affect our bodies in any way?
A,e,i,o,u is vowels you should use "an" only when the vowels start
this video shows how humanity goes far
The blood vessel images on the new Tesla 7.1's are mind blowing my friends are tired of hearing me talk about them 😂
What's the duration of mri scan?
30 Min typically
its directly related to how long you last in bed
Brain mri takes around 15 minutes
This sounds like those tutorials that tell you to draw. Step 1: draw a circle. Step 2: Draw the owl. How the information received is translated into an actual 3 dimensional image is basically just ignored.
Good video. A lot of information was summed up succinctly!
best explanation😍
very helpful video ..thanks a lot
Thank you
9/11 for the animation quality
r/cursedcomments
How can I do like this?
Out of all the videos I've watched about MRI, this one is what I doubt the most due to its simplicity
Very nice explanation thank u so much
And what about the loud noises inside the machine?
Those are the gradient coils vibrating. If you ever heard relays or motors humming when they are activated, it's similar, just a lot more current in these coils.
Please let us get this straight and more accurate as there is misinformation at 1:04. This MRI is a machine that HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE ENGINEERS AND SCIENTISTS AND MATHEMATICIANS use to extract and plot the invisible different situations existing in the human body. Once the information is plotted on a piece of paper or a monitor screen, it is then the doctors can diagnose the medical condition derived from the plotted results. In this video, the doctors and surgeons do not come into the picture as it is Big Magnet, The Gadient, Radio Waves, Computer, Sofware algorithms for the image processes that do it all.
Thank you, as a dimensional traveller, I have been searching for answers on how to control my own brain into time traveling or traveling back to my original timeline, before the world started changing on me. I have jumped over 4 times in the past month, it has something to do with ley lines and zodiac signs, combined with magnetic fields around us and our brains.
The MRIs I mostly used are the Tobisha ones. Now it's just semies
I can't believe the first MRI was invented in 1930. I still can't believe it's available in 2023
I feel like the video's explanation kind of yadda yadda's the link between the energy release from low-energy water molecules and the imaging software.
I still didn't get this...how the movent of water molucules can be used to detect tha defect😐
just the spins, the water isn't moving. the gradient coils after their impulse can be used to detect the decay of spins (the arrows in the vid). the net spin decay faster in some materials and slower in others, depending on it's composition
Don't forget--when they first came out they were called NMRIs, but the word "nuclear" freaked us out in those Cold War days.
0:31 woota
I like british accent btw, except some words
Mashallah very good explanation
It’s funny and scary to think that your sitting in an extremely powerful magnet
So then why they too costly as the equipment seems to be very simpls
Like in india one mri equipment cost about 13 cr -15cr (1,998,760.50 USD)
very simplified explanation. and the magnet that runs it is very expensive, and supercooled 24/7 with helium, again very expensive, and also installation, material and safety cost before the market premium from companies
Very clearly explained
I didn’t know that I have a blue arrows flying in my body 😂
That s a lot of wave...energy.. messing about th H2O.....killing!
it's saved countless lives, and continues to save more each day
