MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)

The relevant application of electromagnetic shielding through faraday cage is MRI or Magnetic
Resonance Imaging

Faraday cages are also used in MRI scan rooms to prevent external radio frequency signals
from causing any distortion to the data coming from the patient.

MRI uses a strong magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed images
of the organs and tissues within the body.

Anomalies of the brain and spinal cordtumors, cysts, and other anomalies in


various parts of the body
Are the following examples in which an MRI scanner would be used

In PREPARATION

There is very little preparation required, if any, before an MRI scan.

On arrival at the hospital, doctors may ask the patient to change into a gown.
As magnets are used, it is critical that no metal objects are present in the
scanner. The doctor will ask the patient to remove any metal jewellery or
accessories that might interfere with the machine.

During an MRI scan


During the scan, it is vital to stay still. Any movement will disrupt the images, much
like a camera trying to take a picture of a moving object. Loud clanging noises will
come from the scanner. This is perfectly normal. Depending on the images, at times
it may be necessary for the person to hold their breath.

Side effects

It is extremely rare that a patient will experience side effects from an MRI
scan.
However, the contrast dye can cause nausea, headaches, and pain or burning
at the point of injection in some people. Allergy to the contrast material is also
seldom seen but possible, and can cause hives or itchy eyes. Notify the
technician if any adverse reactions occur.

Function

An MRI scanner contains two powerful magnets. These are the most important parts
of the equipment.

The human body is largely made of water molecules, which are comprised of
hydrogen and oxygen atoms. At the center of each atom lies an even smaller particle
called a proton, which serves as a magnet and is sensitive to any magnetic field.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a type of scan that uses strong magnetic fields and radio
waves to produce detailed images of the inside of the body. Faraday cages are also used in MRI
scan rooms to prevent external radio frequency signals from causing any distortion to the data
coming from the patient.
MRI uses a strong magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed images of the organs and
tissues within the body.

An MRI scanner is a large tube that contains powerful magnets. You lie inside the tube during
the scan.An MRI scan can be used to examine almost any part of the body, including the:brain
and spinal cordbones and jointsbreastsheart and blood vesselsinternal organs, such as the liver,
womb or prostate glandThe results of an MRI scan can be used to help diagnose conditions, plan
treatments and assess how effective previous treatment has been.
