Using super-powerful magnets to create 3D pictures of your body!
Your body is made of tiny particles called atoms. Inside each atom are even tinier particles called protons!
MRI uses super-powerful magnets to make these protons spin and line up!
When the magnet turns off, protons relax and send signals. The machine listens to these signals and builds a picture!
1. Super Magnet: Creates a strong magnetic field (30,000x stronger than Earth's!)
2. Radio Waves: Poke the protons to make them wiggle!
3. Proton Relaxation: Protons send signals when they relax
4. Computer: Turns signals into detailed 3D pictures!
🧠 Brain: Tumors, strokes, injuries
🦴 Joints: Knees, shoulders, wrists
🫀 Organs: Heart, liver, kidneys
🩹 Soft Tissue: Muscles, tendons, ligaments
