What is Bloch equation in MRI?
In physics and chemistry, specifically in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and electron spin resonance (ESR), the Bloch equations are a set of macroscopic equations that are used to calculate the nuclear magnetization M = (Mx, My, Mz) as a function of time when relaxation times T1 and ...
What is the transverse magnetization?
Transverse magnetization is the component of the net magnetization vector perpendicular to the magnetic field (x-y plane). This is due to the spins of individual protons getting more or less into phase (coherence) – i.e. after a radiofrequency pulse.
