How MRI Scanners Work The
main component of the MRI system, or scanner, is a magnet.
This magnet causes your body's hydrogen atoms to align
themselves in such a way as to receive radio signals from
the magnetic resonance system. When your body receives these
signals, it reacts by sending its own radio signals back to
the machine. It is this radio frequency transmitted by your
body that is computer-processed and turned into incredibly
detailed images. |
