Magnetisation ratio in human body using gyromagnetic ratios

In summary, the number density of 1H nuclei in the body is 600 times greater than that of 13C nuclei. The magnetisation M0 of 1H is therefore also greater than 13C in the same external magnetic field, and can be calculated by dividing the gyromagnetic ratio of 1H by 13C. Other relevant factors to consider are the scaling with Larmor frequency and number density.

Homework Statement


The number density of 1H nuclei in the body is roughly 600 times greater than that of 13C
nuclei. By what factor is the magnetisation M0 of 1H greater than 13C in the same external magnetic
field?

3. The Attempt at a Solution
[/B]
Surely it can't be as simple as dividing the gyromagnetic ratio of 1H by 13C? I've thoroughly went through my notes and have been unable to find any appropriate equation to solve this.

How does M0 scale with the Larmor frequency? How does M0 scale with number density? Are there any other relevant scaling factors?
 

What is magnetisation ratio in human body using gyromagnetic ratios?

Magnetisation ratio in human body using gyromagnetic ratios is a measure of the magnetic properties of the human body. It takes into account the gyromagnetic ratio of different atoms and molecules in the body, and how they respond to an external magnetic field.

What factors affect the magnetisation ratio in the human body?

The magnetisation ratio in the human body is affected by several factors such as the type of tissue, the concentration of different atoms and molecules, and the strength and direction of the external magnetic field.

How is the magnetisation ratio in the human body measured?

The magnetisation ratio in the human body is typically measured using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques. This involves exposing the body to a strong magnetic field and measuring the response of the different atoms and molecules in the body.

What is the significance of studying magnetisation ratio in the human body?

Studying the magnetisation ratio in the human body can provide valuable insights into the structure and function of different tissues and organs. It can also help in the diagnosis and treatment of various medical conditions.

Can the magnetisation ratio in the human body be altered?

Yes, the magnetisation ratio in the human body can be altered by changing the external magnetic field or by introducing substances with different magnetic properties into the body. This can be useful in certain medical procedures or for research purposes.
