Understanding MRI Technology

What does MRI stand for?

• Magnetic Resonance Imaging

• Magnetic Radiology Imaging

• Medical Resonance Imaging

• Magnetic Response Imaging

What is the primary component of the human body that MRI technology relies on?

• Water

• Carbon

• Hydrogen

• Oxygen

What role do low energy water molecules play in MRI imaging?

• They create the magnetic field

• They absorb radio waves

• They generate heat

• They emit light

What happens to water molecules when the MRI machine stops emitting radio waves?

• They release absorbed energy

• They become permanently magnetized

• They change their chemical structure

• They evaporate

How does the MRI machine produce a three-dimensional image?

• By injecting contrast agents

• By taking images of the body in each section of the magnetic field

• By scanning the body with ultrasound waves

• By using X-rays to capture images
