MRI PhET activity


Picture
Picture
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has become an essential diagnostic tool worldwide due to its ability to non-invasively depict and distinguish soft tissues within the body. At the most basic level, it utilizes an induced magnetic field and a pulsed radio frequency wave to create detailed images of a patient. In this exercise, students use the online PhET activity to explore how magnetic fields are generated and used in MRIs including the importance of hydrogen atoms and the Larmor frequency.
