MRI ?
M-MAGNETIC
R- RESONANCE
I- IMAGING
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a medical imaging technique used in radiology to create a detailed, cross-sectional
image of internal organs and structures from the body.
 It is a type of scan that uses large strong magnetic fields ,radio waves
and a computer to produce detailed images of the inside of the body.
CLOSED Bore MRI

How does MRI Work ?
 putting patient into magnet
 Sending R.F pulse
 Receiving R.F pulse
 constructing image from raw data with
computers.
History
 1937 -Rabi gives his postulate on “molecular beam magnetic resonance”
 1946 Edward Purcell and Felix Bloch independently studied the magnetic resonance properties of
atoms and molecules in solids and liquids.
 1971 Raymond Damadian suggested that MR relaxation times could be used to distinguish cancer
from healthy tissue.
 1973-Paul Lauterbur realized that a gradient magnetic field would allow observers to take two-
dimensional images of an object, which could then be stacked to create a three-dimensional view.
Lauterbur imaged two water-filled test tube using magnetic resonance, producing the 1st
MR
image.
 By 1977, Dr. Damadian completed construction of the first whole-body MRI scanner, which he named
the "Indomitable
 Peter Mansfield developed echo- planar technique in the year 1977 , which allows images to be
produces in seconds and later becomes the basis for fast MR imaging.
 Many scientists over the next years developed MRI into the technology that we now know today.

7 T MRI
 In October 2017, the FDA cleared the first 7T MRI system.
The Magnetom Terra from
Siemens is the first 7T MRI
system cleared for clinical use in
the United States
AIR COIL TECHNOLOGY
• It enables the creation of
blanket-like MRI coils, rather
than the hard plastic or semi-
flexible coil sheets currently
available
ADVANTAGES :
• can be folded and bent to easily wrap
around the patient’s body.
• The coils are extremely lightweight
and use flexible electronics.
• The AIR technology also allows coils
to overlap without cross-talk
interference, unlike conventional coil
technology.
Wide bore MRI
• Main reason for these
new wide bore
machines have become
so widely popular is
because they have
allowed those patients
who cannot fit into
conventional MRI
machines
Open bore MRI
Open MRI is helpful in groups
of patients:
•Claustrophobic or anxious
•Bariatric
•Limited mobility
•Children and the elderly
In-bore ambient experience technology
• This system includes an
Ambient Experience
technology package that
offers a soothing
experience for the patient
complete with imagery,
sound and light specially
designed to help patients
relax.
Silent MRI
• GE Healthcare has
expanded its Silent
Scan MRI noise
reduction
technology to its
Signa Pioneer 3T
system
Software advancement
Multi-contrast MRI images from a single acquisition
 (FDA) granted market clearance for GE Healthcare’s MAGIC
(Magnetic resonance image Compilation) software, the
industry’s first multi-contrast MRI technique that delivers eight
contrasts in a single acquisition in a fraction of the time of
conventional imaging.
 Clinicians have the ability to generate multiple image contrasts in
a single MR scan – including T1, T2, STIR, T1 FLAIR, T2 FLAIR, dual
IR, phase sensitive IR and proton density weighted images of the
brain in a single acquisition.
Software greatly reducing MRI Scan times
Simultaneous Multi-Slice (SMS)
o Using SMS, physicians can reduce the length of MRI brain
examinations
o SMS can be used in the treatment of patients who possess
limited tolerance for longer scan times, including pediatric or
geriatric patients
o The SMS application is available on Siemens’ Magnetom Aera
1.5T, Magnetom Skyra 3T, and Magnetom Prisma and Prisma Fit
3T MRI systems.
GO Brain
 GO Brain application allows acquisition of clinically essential
image orientations and contrasts with a single button-push. The
technology is backed by Siemens’ high-channel density coils and
the company’s MRI scanning software DotGO.
 GOBrain helps improve patient throughput and potentially
reduce costs per scan.
 The GOBrain application is featured on the Magnetom Aera and
Magnetom Skyra systems.
Lung MRI Now possible
Ultrashort Echo Time (UTE)
 Lung MRI has been problematic since the lungs are filled with air and
there is a low density of the hydrogen atoms required to create MR
images. For this reason, computed tomography (CT) has traditionally
been used for lung imaging. At RSNA 2015, Toshiba introduced its
Ultrashort Echo Time (UTE) sequence for dedicated pulmonary MRI.
Available on the Vantage Titan 3.0T MR system, UTE allows clinicians to
view tissue with very short relaxation times and high susceptibility
regions where signals generally disappear too quickly for accurate MR
imaging.
Simplifying cardiac MRI
Vios Works
 Cardiac MRI has been very limited, only making up about 1 percent of all MRIs due to its complexity, long
exam times and high cost. However, GE Healthcare introduced a new MRI technology at RSNA 2015 to
greatly simplify cardiac MR in hopes of expanding its adoption in place of CT scans. Developed for its new
Signa MRI scanners, the new ViosWorks cardiac MRI software helps automate the image sequences to
perform a full 3-D chest volume scan that includes the full motion of the myocardium during the cardiac
cycle, blood flow, time and fully automated quantification to create what GE calls a 7-D cardiac MRI exam.
 ViosWorks also speeds the imaging time from 70 minutes down to about 10 minutes using a single,
free breathing exam.
 Gathering a full volume dataset of a chest in motion creates a large amount of data that would normally
clog the average picture archiving and communication system (PACS) and post-processing 3-D image
workstation. An average cardiac MRI exam today is about 200 MB, while a ViosWorks exam is about 20 GB.
So, GE has launched a new cloud computing service to help process that large amount of data quickly with
remote super-computing power.
Simplifying MRI-conditional implant scans
ScanWise Implant
 Advancements in medical implant technologies have greatly increased the number of patients with these
devices in recent years, which complicated MRI scanning of these patients.
 MR-conditional implants include knee and hip replacements, spine implants, pacemakers and
implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs).
 More of these devices are becoming MR-conditional, which permits MRI scanning within certain
parameters.
 These implants require adjustments in the scanner setup in order to create optimal images in the
presence of these metal implants and to ensure patient safety. However, these adjustments can be time
consuming and complex, causing patients with MR-conditional implants to often be denied MRI exams.
 At RSNA 2015, Philips unveiled the first MRI automated user interface technology designed to greatly
simplify exams with patients that have MR-conditional medical implants.
 The new Scan Wise Implant software offers a guided user interface and automatic scan parameter
selection designed to support “first-time-right” imaging. The software guides operators to meet the
specific criteria for each implant.
Shortening prostate MRI Exams
SEEit
 The FDA in January cleared the noninvasive SEEit prostate MR imaging
solution from Siemens.
 Powered by syngo MR E11 software architecture, SEEit enables users of
Siemens’ Magnetom Aera 1.5T and Magnetom Skyra 3T MRI systems to
perform a routine prostate exam in just 10 minutes without using an
endorectal coil, which can cause patient discomfort.
 Siemens’ Direct RF and high-density coil technology Tim 4G – coupled with
its Resolve diffusion technology – deliver the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and
resolution that enable users to perform these examinations using only the
company’s new Body 30/60 surface coil.
