What kind of waves are used in magnetic resonance imaging to map body tissues?
Wiki User
∙ 13y ago
To map body tissues, MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) uses a combination of techniques: a powerful magnetic field, and radio waves. Radio waves are utilized for mapping because they will not damage the body tissue.

What is the process of using radio waves and magnetism to produce images of tissues in the human body?
This process is called magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI.
The uses of electro magnetic waves in medicine?
The uses of electro magnetic waves in medicine?
When the frequency of sound waves matches the natural frequency of an object the result can be?
the result is resonance
What does the presence of phase distortion in sound waves gives rise to?
Harmonic distortion/resonance
Are electromagnetic waves stronger than regular magnetic waves?
There is no such thing as a purely magnetic wave. The wave aspect of an electromagnetic wave comes from the oscillations between electric and magnetic fields.

What is the use of radio waves in medicine to produce pictures of tissues in the human body called?
Magnetic Resonance Imaging or MRI
What technique involves the use of magnetic fields and radio waves to produce images of the brains soft tissue?
MRI - Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Which diagnostic machines uses magnetic fields and radio waves to produce images of the brain?
magnetic resonance imaging, MRI
What diagnostic technique uses a combination of radio waves and a strong magnetic field to produce images?
magnetic resonance imaging
What creates images by combining high-frequency ultrasonic waves and strong magnets?
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
What method of studying the brain involves the use of radio waves to create detailed pictures of the body?
MRI - Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Will a MRI work without a magnet?
No. Put simply, an MRI scanner utilised radio waves and a magnetic field. Without a magnet, there is no magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
What does FMRI stand for in scientific terms?
In scientific terms, the acronym "FMRI" stands for "Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging". It is used to scan a patient's body (specifically the brain) by using magnetic waves.
What is the full name of the process where magnetism and radio waves are used to map internal parts of the body?
I think you're talking about MRI ... Magnetic Resonance Imaging .
How are radio waves used in medical field?
In magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), radio waves are used together with strong magnetic fields. Ultrasound, sometimes known as sonography, is used to view soft tissues such as muscles, internal organs and blood flow especially in real-time, while MRI delivers excellent soft tissue contrast with high resolution
What imaging procedures are used in diagnosis of Hodgkin's disease?
Computerized axial tomography (CT or CAT) scans use a rotating x-ray beam to obtain pictures. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses magnetic fields and radio waves to produce images of the body.
