Introducing MRI: Hardware - Static Magnetic Field (17 of 56)

www.einstein.yu.edu - The seventeenth chapter of Dr. Michael Lipton's MRI course covers Hardware - Static Magnetic Field. Dr. Lipton is associate professor radiology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and associate director of its Gruss Magnetic Resonance Research Center.

Excellent lecture. I was finding this section a bit tedious since hardware doesn’t fascinate me quite as much as the physics. But the MRI music bit was quite fascinating and a great way to engage us students. Thanks professor :)

Need to listen to some this mri music…

[@koltonjones866]

omg, the mri song sounds like a lot of fun. :)

Another great video.
So how do you turn off the magnet if the need arises? If you just break the electrical circuit, won't there be a massive collapse of the field lines, generating a huge electrical surge in the coils (and anything else conductive in the vicinity), and producing a highly damaging fireworks display?

My understanding is they Quench the magnet they release the pressure on the liquid helium and liquid nitrogen which raises the temperature causing the resistance to increase rapidly and decreasing the current and thus the magnetic field

Strong static and weak dynamic electrodynamics field is best nano grid lining mat would enable zoom up or down to nearly limitless resolution
