Symbol used to represent the static main magnetic field of the magnetic resonance (MR) imaging system; the strength of the field is expressed in units of tesla (T)

Symbol used to represent the radio frequency (RF) field in the MRI system; the RF coils, or transmitter coils, at the Larmor frequency produce the B1 field

Summarizes the influence of the gradients in diffusion weighted images; the higher the b-value the stronger the diffusion weighting

Phenomenon caused by protons resonating at different frequencies in a magnetic environment

The process of maintaining a constant relationship between the rotations of hydrogen protons; loss of phase coherence of the nuclear spins results in a decrease in transverse magnetization and decrease in MR signal
