Do MRI scanners have any adverse effects?

MRI scanners have practically no adverse effects. MRI or magnetic resonance imaging works by noting difference of various images created by varying response of different body tissues.

Why liquid helium is used in body scanners?

The "body scanners" that use it are Magnetic Resonance Imaging, or MRI, machines. (The scanners at airports are akin to radar sets, and don't use liquid helium.) MRI machines contain a very large electromagnet. To keep the thing from requiring its own power plant, an MRI magnet is wound with superconducting wire - wire with, effectively, no resistance. Superconducting wire must be kept at the temperature of liquid helium if you want it to superconduct.


In which jobs do you need a knowledge of magnetism?

What is the main purpose of helium?

helium is used to cool superconducting magnets in mri scanners as helium is lighter then air airships use them as gasses


Nuclei excited by an rf pulse?

Yes, a magnetic resonance imaging scanner uses an RF pulse to excite nuclei in the body. Practically all medical MRI scanners are tuned to excite hydrogen nuclei. Other MRI scanners used in physics and chemistry labs are tuned to excite other nuclei -- see the links for a detailed list.


How has the development of mri scanners advanced medical diagnosis and treatment?

Its made it easier to see sction of the body which we couldnt see with regular x ray.
