What is RF MRI?

Published in Medical Imaging 1 min read

RF MRI refers to the use of radiofrequency (RF) energy in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to create images.

In MRI, a strong static magnetic field is used, but the radiofrequency (RF) pulses are crucial for generating the images. According to the reference, RF energy (64 MHz - between AM and FM radio) is exchanged with the patient in order to create MR images. This means that RF pulses, which are electromagnetic waves in the radio frequency range, interact with the body's tissues during the MRI scan. These pulses are transmitted into the patient and then received back as signals, which are processed to form the final MR image.
