MRI and PET Scanning problem 5


The frequency of the electromagnetic waves emitted by protons on relaxation in an MR scanner is given by the equation




where is the total magnetic flux density and is a constant equal to . The magnetic flux density changes by for each thickness of tissue in a section. The scanner is adjusted so that the thickness of each section is . Calculate, for corresponding points in neighbouring sections,


  • the difference in magnetic flux density


  • the change in emitted frequency.
