Description: Protons of hydrogen nuclei from the water act as small magnets, spinning around their own axis, while in a strong magnetic field, they align with the magnetic field. Magnetic moments and net magnetization change when an excitation with radiofrequency (RF) pulse is applied. Relaxation causes the MRI signal to recover in the longitudinal direction according to the time constant T1 or decay in the transverse plane according to time constant T2.
