  1. Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI) Steven McLellan

  2. What is MRI? • Produces very clear, detailed pictures of the organs and structures in the body • It is a form of medical imaging that uses no Ionizing radiation • MRI makes use of the property of Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to image nuclei of atoms inside the body.

  3. History • The first MR image was published in 1973 • The first studies performed on humans were published in 1977 • Created by Dr. Raymond V. Damadian, Dr. Larry Minkoff and Dr. Michael Goldsmith • In 2003, The 2003 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to Paul C Lauterbur and Peter Mansfield • Made new MR imaging techniques • Faster and more efficient

  4. Common Uses • Physicians use the MR examination to help diagnose or monitor treatment for conditions such as: • Tumors and other cancer related abnormalities. • Certain types of heart problems. • Blockages or enlargements of blood vessels • Diseases of the liver, such as cirrhosis, and that of other abdominal organs. • Diseases of the small intestine, colon, and rectum

  5. Common Uses

  6. How does it work? • An MRI machine uses a powerful magnetic field to align the magnetization of some atoms in the body. • radio frequency fields systematically alter the alignment of this magnetization • This causes the nuclei to produce a rotating magnetic field detectable by the scanner • This information is recorded to construct an image of the body.

  7. How does it work?

  8. How does it work? • Images are constructed when protons in different tissues return to equilibrium state at different rates. • Five variables effect these rates • Spin Density: Concentration of nuclei in tissue processing in a given region under a magnetic field. • T1: Longitudinal relaxation time • T2: Transverse relaxation time • Flow: Shows blood flow, CSF flow • Spectral Shifts: Angle/zoom the picture is taken from.

  9. Basic MRI Scans • T1-weighted: Differentiate fat from water • Water is Darker, fat is brighter • Provide good gray matter/white matter contrast in brain. • T2-weighted: Differentiate fat from water • Fat shows darker, and water lighter. • Good for imaging edema • Abnormal accumulation of fluid beneath the skin or in one or more cavities of the body

  10. Common Uses

  11. Common Uses

  12. Specialized MRI Scans Diffusion MRI • Measures diffusion of water through biological tissues. • Diffusion may be anisotropic (unequal physical properties along different axes) • Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) • Examine areas of neural degeneration and demyelination in diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

  13. Diffusion MRI

  14. Specialized MRI Scans Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) • Generates pictures of arteries. • Evaluates the arteries of the neck and brain, the thoracic and abdominal aorta, the renal arteries, and the legs • Uses gadolinium injection as paramagnetic contrast agent • Magnetic resonance venography (MRV) is a similar procedure that is used to image veins.

  15. Magnetic Resonance Angiography

  16. Safety Risks • MRI’s create up to 120dB • Equivalent to jet engine at take off. • Contraindications: • Pacemakers, Vagus Nerve Stimulators, implantable defibrillators, insulin pumps, deep brain stimulators • Any electronic or magnetized foreign bodies (surgical prosthesis) • Peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) • Rapid switching on and off of the magnetic field gradients is capable of causing nerve stimulation

  17. During Procedure • People hold the part of their body being scanned motionless for 30-60 minutes. • Procedure is done in multiple parts. • Takes time to switch between different scans and fields of view.

  18. Future? • More detailed images • All MRIs use color? • Better pictures of bone structures • Shift from x-rays and CT scans to MRI • New Scanning sequences
