Answer:
1.In magnetic resonance imaging, we place the
human body in a strong magnetic field which makes the hydrogen
nuclei in the body/cells to align with the magnetic field. When an
radio frequency is applied to the system, it causes the hydrogen
nuclei to change the state and when it is switched off they comes
back to the steady state emitting the resonance frequency.
2.This is a basic principle for all the nuclear magnetic resonance type techniques. Please note that this is a very short description.
3.Now in MRI, a magnetic field gradient is also applied all over the body. This gradient makes the actual magnetic field vary slightly throughout the body and therefore the protons at different parts of the body resonate at different frequencies.
4.This allows us to scan specific parts of body and thus giving flexibility with image. Moreover intensity of the gradient field can determine the resolution of the image and speed of aquisition. Thus a gradient magnetic field is important in MRI.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging An MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) solenoid produces a magnetic field of 1.4 T . The solenoid is 2.5m long, 1.0 m in diameter, and wound with insulated wires 2.2 mm in diameter. Find the current that flows in the solenoid. (Your answer should be rather large. A typical MRI solenoid uses niobium-titanium wire kept at liquid helium temperatures, where it is superconducting.)

The magnetic field produced by the solenoid in a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system designed for measurements on whole human bodies has a field strength of 8.0 T, and the current in the solenoid is 1.5 102 A. What is the number of turns per meter of length of the solenoid? Note that the solenoid used to produce the magnetic field in this type of system has a length that is not very long compared to its diameter. Because of...

Problem 29.57 The magnitude of the magnetic field in a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine can be as great as B = 2.0 T. Under normal circumstances, this field cannot be shut off by just flipping a switch Instead the magnitude needs to be carefully decreased to zero. In an emergency, however, the magnet can be "quenched" so that B reduces to zero in 20 s. Such a quench can cost thousands of dollars and likely damages the magnets. Assume...
A patient is having a magnetic resonance imaging scan (an MRI) and has neglected to remove a 8.1 cm diameter metallic bracelet. The resistance of the bracelet is 0.0110 Ω. The magnetic field within the MRI's solenoid is perpendicular to the opening of her bracelet. While taking the scan, the magnetic field decreases from 1.05 T to 0.35 T in 1.50 seconds. What is the magnitude of the average induced voltage in the bracelet?
