Solution

The imaging method used to observe fiber bundles is B. DTI (Diffusion Tensor Imaging). This technique is a type of MRI that is used specifically for imaging white matter in the brain, which is composed largely of myelinated axon, forming the fiber bundles. DTI measures the restricted diffusion of water in tissue in order to produce neural tract images.

Tomography is imaging by sections. By aquiring multiple 2-D images from multiple , a 3-D image may be reconstructed with the aid of a tomographic reconstruction applied by a computer. The device used to produce the images is called a tomograph, while the image produced is a tomogram. Several different tomographic methods are used in modern medicine for purposes. Of particular interest to us are techniques which use radionuclides. In SPECT ( photon computed tomography), the patient is injected with a that decays by gamma-ray emission. These gamma rays are detected by a camera, forming an image of the distribution of the in the body of the patient. Another tomographic method that uses radionuclides is PET ( emission ). In this method, the radionuclide which is injected decays by (positive beta-particle) emission. It does not take long for the positron to collide with an , anihiliating each other, producing two that travel off in (generally) opposite directions. These of gamma-rays are then detected by the PET scanner.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a common non-invasive medical imaging method with high resolution and soft tissue contrast.  The main component of an MRI scanner is a very strong superconducting magnet with the magnetic field strength measured in Teslas (T).  The magnet resembles a large pipe, 1.25 m long, open on both ends, with a bore diameter of 0.6 m.The magnetic field is generated by an electric current flowing in coils of superconducting wire.  The superconductor is cooled to 4 K with liquid helium and has zero electrical resistance.  Liquid helium that boils out of the MRI scanner is stored in a collection system, cooled back into a liquid, and returned to the MRI scanner.During imaging, the MRI scanner generates rapid magnetic field oscillations that cause vibrations and loud sounds.  Researchers measured the sounds of MRI at different magnetic field strengths and compared them to common noise sources.  Table 1 lists the sound intensity in decibels (dB) and predominant frequency for these sounds.Table 1  Sound Intensity and Predominant Frequency from Different Noise SourcesThe noise frequencies were determined using frequency selective RC circuits with a resistor R and capacitor C in series.  Sounds with frequencies above the cutoff frequency fc of the circuit were suppressed.  The value of fc in Hz was calculated with Equation 1.fc=12πRC𝑓c=12𝜋RCEquation 1MRI can be combined with another imaging method, positron emission tomography (PET), to detect cancer.  PET imaging maps the uptake of a radioactive metabolite.  The radioactive decay emits a positron that annihilates with an electron and forms gamma rays that are imaged by the scanner. Question 52According to the data in Table 1, which of the following makes noise at a frequency that resonates in the bore of an MRI magnet?  (Note:  The speed of sound in air is 350 m/s.)A.1.0 T MRIB.1.5 T MRIC.3.0 T MRID.Gas lawnmower
