How Does an MRI Machine Work?

I want to know : how does an MRI machine works?

An MRI machine involves the use of powerful magnets, radio waves and a computer to make detailed picture of what is inside the body.Magnetic field: Orients your body hydrogen atoms.Radio waves, Pulse and knock them out of course.Signal return: Signals return to atoms which re-align.Computer constructs pictures: Signals are changed to elaborate scans of organs, tissues, and structures

An‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌ MRI machine operates through the use of a magnetic field and radio waves to put the hydrogen atoms in your body in line, then it sends bursts that break this alignment, and when the atoms go back to normal they give off signals that the machine changes into very detailed pictures of your organs and tissues inside the body without the need for any ‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌radiation.

Haha, I always tell people it’s like your body becomes a giant magnet soup. No radiation involved, unlike X-rays, so it’s relatively safe. But yeah, lying in that tube for 30 minutes is a test of patience. Bring some mental games or music if you can!

An MRI machine works by using powerful magnets and radio waves to create detailed images of the body’s internal structures. The magnetic field aligns hydrogen atoms, and radio waves disrupt this alignment. When atoms return to position, they release signals that a computer converts into clear images of organs, tissues, and bones.

It aligns your body's protons (in water atoms) using a strong magnet. They are then momentarily thrown out of alignment by radio waves. They release energy signals when they recline, which the computer uses to create intricate, soft-tissue images.

An MRI machine works by using powerful magnets and radio waves to create detailed images of the inside of your body. The magnet aligns the hydrogen atoms in your body, and then radio waves briefly disrupt that alignment. When the atoms return to their normal position, they release signals that the machine converts into clear images of organs, tissues, and structures. It’s painless, safe, and especially useful for diagnosing soft-tissue conditions.

An MRI machine uses a strong magnetic field and radio waves to align and then disturb hydrogen atoms in your body, creating detailed images based on how they respond when returning to normal.

 

[Zephyr]

An MRI machine uses powerful magnets and radio waves to align hydrogen atoms in the body. When these atoms return to their normal state, they release signals that a computer converts into detailed images of organs, tissues, and internal structures.

 

[MadRis]

An MRI machine uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to align hydrogen atoms in the body. When the radio waves are turned off, the atoms emit signals. These signals are detected and converted by a computer into detailed images of tissues and organs, without using harmful radiation.

An MRI is a device that relies on the power of strong magnetic fields and radio waves to position hydrogen atoms and make detailed images of the inside with no radiation.

 

[Johnson]

An MRI machine uses strong magnets and radio waves to align and then disturb protons in your body’s water molecules. As these protons realign, they emit signals. The MRI detects those signals and converts them into detailed 3D images of internal organs and soft tissues — without X-rays or ionizing radiation.
