Creation of macroscopic magnetic moment in MRI
Creation of macroscopic magnetic moment in MRI
Excess of magnetic moments aligned parallel to the main magnetic field (B
0
) creates a macroscopic magnetic moment (M
0
). The random phases of the individual magnetic vectors cause cancellation of the transverse component of magnetization.
