Question

Which of the following is not true about of the use of MRI in medicine?

1) It produces no negative side-effects on the human body
2) It produces high resolution images of soft tissues
3) It is very cheap
4) It requires very strong magnetic fields

Answer 1

3) False. It is expensive since it requires sophisticated equipment and very low temperatures

Step-by-step explanation:

Nuclear magnetic resonance imaging measurements consist of magnetic resonance imaging to analyze tissues by the transition of the unpaired electron at carbon 13, giving information on the structure and composition of tissues. This information is processed in computers and transformed into images.

So the physical measurement is the MRN

Now we can analyze the statements in the problem

1) True by itself a magnetic measurement is non-invasive

2) True. Measuring carbon transitions has information about the soft tissue of the body

3) False. It is expensive since it requires sophisticated equipment and very low temperatures

4) Right. The applied magnetic field is high to be able to induce carbon transaction
