Does an MRI create images by combining high-frequency ultrasonic waves and strong magnets?

No, an MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) machine uses a strong magnetic field and radio waves to generate detailed images of the inside of the body. It does not use ultrasonic waves, which are commonly used in ultrasound imaging.


What kind of waves are used in magnetic resonance imaging to map body tissues?

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 (MRI). MRI uses a strong magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed images of tissues inside the body. The hydrogen atoms in our bodies align with the magnetic field, and when radio waves are sent through the body, these atoms emit signals that are used to create the images.


Does a MRI machine use nuclear fusion or fission?

it uses nuclear fusion-I don't think so!! It uses electrical energy to move the magnetic fields around in order to scan the subject. Nuclear fusion is not used for any purpose on earth except H-bombs


How much radiation does MRI emit?

MRI does not emit ionizing radiation like X-rays or CT scans. Instead, it uses a magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed images of the body's internal structures without exposing the patient to harmful radiation.

What brain imaging method uses radio waves and magnetic fields to produce a detailed image?

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) uses radio waves and magnetic fields to create detailed images of the brain's structure and function. It is a non-invasive imaging technique that provides high-resolution pictures of the brain's anatomy without using radiation.


What types of energies a cell phone uses?

Electro Magnetic Energy.


Electro magnetic force?

The electromagnetic force is one of the fundamental forces in nature, responsible for interactions between charged particles. It encompasses both electric and magnetic forces, which are manifestations of the same fundamental force. It plays a crucial role in a wide range of phenomena, from holding atoms together to generating light and other electromagnetic waves.


How fast do cell phone waves travel through the air?

Cell phone transmission uses shortwaves (120 MHz to 1000MHz) to transmit its signals, these waves are Electro-magnetic waves (just like light); thus, they travel at the speed of light: 299,792,458 m/s or 670,616,629 mph.


What diagnostic technique uses a combination of radio waves and a strong magnetic field to produce images?

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is the diagnostic technique that uses a combination of radio waves and a strong magnetic field to produce detailed images of tissues and organs in the body.


What can travel in a vacuum?

Light or radioactive particles. They uses electro magnetic radiation as a medium for them to travel through, Waves like sound can not travel through vacuum because they need physical mediums like air.


The technique that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to produce computer images of structures within the brain is called?

Are there any uses of ultrasound in medicine?

yes when you get an ULTRASOUND when your pregnant it use ultrasound waves to show the image.


What is the definition of electro mechanical?

An electro-mechanical computer is a computer that uses relays.


Which examination technique uses a combination of radio waves and a strong magnetic field to produce images?

Magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI, is a test that uses a magnetic field and pulses of radio wave energy to make pictures of organs and structures inside the body. Sometimes a contrast solution is injected into the patient during the MRI scan to show certain structures more clearly.
