MRSO
Static magnetic field
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| A coil of wire with an electrical current running through it produces an electromagnetic field opposing the static magnetic field to reduce the fringe field. | Active Shielding |
| The unit is used to describe the static magnetic field. | Bsub0 |
| The amount of attraction an object has to the static magnetic field. | Deflection |
| A weakly repulsive force when placed in a strong static magnetic field. | Diamagnetism |
| This describes how electrical currents are produced in alternating magnetic fields. | Faradays, the Law of Induction |
| An object with a strong, attractive force in a strong static magnetic field retains a magnetic field even when leaving the strong static magnetic field. | Ferromagnetism |
| The gradient of magnetic densities that move from the north pole of the static magnetic field to the south pole. | Flux Lines |
| The magnetic field extends outside the MR unit. | Fringe Field |
| A magnetic field unit of measurement. | Gauss |
| A magnetic field vector that is horizontal. | Horizontal Static Magnetic Field |
| The process of non-ferrous objects producing a magnetic field when moved through a strong static magnetic field. | Lenz's Force |
| The overall magnetic field strength of the MR unit. | Magnetic Field Strength |
| Each hydrogen proton produces a particular magnetic field. | Magnetic Moment |
| When patients are exposed to a strong static magnetic field, their blood becomes magnetized. This causes a high T wave in their cardiac cycle. | Magnetohydrodynamic Effect |
| A weakly attractive force when placed in a static magnetic field. | Paramagnetic |
| Using magnetically conductive materials in an MR unit reduces the fringe field. | Passive Shielding |
| The principle describes the atom structure and the types of magnetism (ferromagnetism, paramagnetic, diamagnetism…). | Pauli Exclusion Principle |
| A force that aligns objects affected by the static magnetic field to its flux lines. | Rotational Force |
| The changing magnetic field strength was demonstrated at different distances from the MR unit. | Spatial Gradient Magnetic |
| The magnetic field that aligns hydrogen nuclei parallel or anti-parallel. | Static Magnetic Field |
| When placed in a strong static magnetic field, a stronger attractive force than superparamagnetic, but not as strong as ferromagnetism. | Superparamagnetic |
| The potential effects of a static magnetic field on the offspring of individuals exposed to it. | Teratogenic |
| The unit of measurement is used to describe the static magnetic field. | Tesla |
| The attractive force of an object as it translates through the static gradient magnetic field. | Translation Force |
| The direction of the static magnetic field. | Vector |
| A magnetic field vector that is vertical. | Vertical Static Magnetic Field |
