word magnetism is derived from the Greek work
Magnes
what present name Magnes
Manisa
- any material or object that produces a magnetic field, which is a force field that can attract or repel other materials
magnet
Magnets can be either
natural - magnetite
manmade - electronics, motors, and compasses
- made first experiment in 1820
- first clear link between electricity and magnetism, laying the foundation for the field of electromagnetism.
Hans Oersted
- developed a method to measure the magnetic properties of atomic nuclei, laying the groundwork for Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR).
▪ coined the term Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
▪ Rewarded with Nobel Physics Prize in 1944
Isidor Isaac Rabi
- simple relation between resonance, magnetic field strength and frequency of radio waves
- His work led to the development of NMR spectroscopy
- continued extensive studies with the NMR of water, thereby laying the groundwork for later developments that led to MRI
- rewarded with Nobel Physics Prize in 1952
Felix Bloch & Edward Purcell
▪ showed that malignant tissue has a different NMR spectrum from normal tissue while working with NMR spectroscopy
▪ produced a crude NMR image of a rat tumor in 1974 and the first body image in 1977. That image took almost 4 hours to produce.
Raymond Damadian
- Raymond Damadian and his collegues at FONAR built the first whole-body MRI system, “___”, had a field strength of only ~0.05 T.
- did produce the worlds first MR images of the human. By collecting data from 106 voxels, one voxel at a time (a four hour scan), the image was crude, but clearly showed the heart, lungs, and the walls of the chest cavity.
Indomitable
“The Father of Magnetic Resonance Imaging”
Raymond Damadian
1960s to 1970s
- Proposed the concept of using magnetic field gradients to create two-dimensional images.
- Gradient System (Gx, Gy, Gz) to pick up and excite a particular section of human body in three dimension then broadcast a first visual of 2 tube in Nature Magazine. - He also called this imaging
by the name of Zeugmatography - His pioneering work in MRI earned him a Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2003
Paul C. Lauterbur - 1973
built the base of Magnetic Resonance by offering the method of frequency and phase coding. He thought of using Fourier Transform instead of Radon Transform and applied successfully.
Richard Ernst -1975
- developed Echo Planar Imaging (EPI) provided imaging very fast, Same year that Damadian accomplished imaging of entire human body.
▪ MRI method is used for functional MR neuroimaging today.
Peter Mansfield 1977
Types of Magnets
Permanent Magnets
Temporary Magnets
Electromagnets
These magnets maintain their magnetism over time without needing any external power.
Permanent Magnets
become magnetic only when exposed to a magnetic field. Once the external field is removed, they lose their magnetism.
Temporary Magnets
created by running an electric current through a coil of wire, usually wrapped around a core made of ferromagnetic material like iron.
Electromagnets
Magnets have two poles:
where the magnetic force is the strongest
north and south
area around a magnet where its magnetic force is felt is called
magnetic field
strength of the B0 magnetic field is expressed in units called
tesla (T)
Who was the assistant of Raymond Damadian during his experiment in MRI?
Larry Minkoff
Ørsted’s discovery was the first clear link between electricity and magnetism, laying the foundation for the field of electromagnetism. This experiment was done in the year___
1820
His work led to the development of NMR spectroscopy
Edward Purcell
continued extensive studies with the NMR of water, thereby laying the groundwork for later developments that led to MRI.
Felix Bloch
