Chemical Technology of MRI Machines In Chemistry there are multiple forms of different chemical reactions for a variety of reactions. In order to have a chemical reactions there must be a subject in which will be examined on how it was formed and the stages it has went through. For every chemical reaction, it requires at least two reactants or more in order to combine to form the final product of the subject. For instance, MRI machines are used on a day to day basis because of its effective results, but how is an MR image created? In MRI scanning to produce the final MR image, it must go through a chemical reaction which would require a variety of different reactants. Elements such as hydrogen, oxygen-16, oxygen-17, fluorine-19, sodium-23, and phosphorus-31 are all elements …show more content…

In the process of creating MR images the chemical reaction that it undergoes would most likely be a single replacement reaction because of multiple elements that combine all together to create one final product, the image.
MRI scanners have a complex yet quick process in creating a final product of an MR image. In order to create an image, a single proton of a hydrogen nucleus is used because of its ability to go through large quantities of fats and water that are located in the body. The single proton of the hydrogen nucleus is profoundly similar to the orbiting of earth. Similarly, it is spinning on its axis thus behaving like a small spin of a magnet piece. There are multiple steps that the machine goes through in a matter of seconds to receive an accurate image. For a body to be scanned through an MRI, the main component in order to do so is having a
