SYSTEM AND METHOD OF MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING

摘要

A method of imaging a sample (16). A magnetic particle (12) is positioned near a sample (16) to be imaged. A strong direct current (DC) magnetic field (B>0<) is applied in a non-perpendicular direction relative to the sample (16), and a relatively weaker radio frequency (RF) magnetic field (B>1<) is applied. A plurality of polarized magnetic spins (20) of the sample (16) is produced in a region near the magnetic particle (12), and resonance of the plurality of magnetic spins (20) is detected. The detected plurality of magnetic spins (20) can be used to provide an image of the sample (16).
