Procedure of the Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Hyderabad
The patient is laid on a flat bed which is put inside the scanner. Either the head or the feet is pushed inside first, depending on the case as may be.
The radiographer controls the scanner using the computer while sitting in a separate room to avoid the magnetic field. The patient and the radiographer use an intercom to communicate and the latter also operates a television monitor to observe the patient.
The scanner produces tapping noises due to the electric current in the coil is either turned on or turned off. To reduce the discomfort the patient is given headphones or earplugs.
The patient may be required to hold their breath for a few seconds and follow other instructions as directed by the radiographer.
The protons in the body line up under the influence of powerful scanner magnets and radio waves are sent to the different regions of the body. This causes the protons to disperse, and later when the rays are turned off they get realigned.
The alignment, dispersion, and realignment of the protons send the radio signals, which are caught by the receivers to detect the locations of the protons in the body. And hence the information of distinguished tissues is drawn, as the speed of the realignment of the tissue varies.
Thus, the pixels create images on the computer screen by receiving the signals from the protons.
