Physics in Medicine and Biology / Physique en médecine et en biologie (DPMB-DPMB)

Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

We really understand a phenomenon in science when we can use it to make something new. This interplay between fundamental science and new materials is particularly vibrant in the highly interrelated fields of biological physics and soft materials, where a confluence of experimental techniques and theoretical approaches meet to address fundamental questions. What is a gel? How do...

3937. (I) An Introduction to MRI: How to make pictures with magnetic moments

Charles McKenzie (University of Western Ontario)

Physics in Medicine and Biology / Physique en médecine et en biologie (DPMB-DPMB)

Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive diagnostic tool that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images of the body's internal structures. This lecture introduces MRI and explains the physical principles behind the formation of images from signals derived from the magnetic moments of 1H nuclei.

The lecture will discuss the fundamental concepts of MRI,...
