Changing the magnetic field causes a buildup of energy, and lot of the energy is released as soundwaves (some of it's released as heat, which is why there's some pretty impressive cooling systems in use on the machines as well). ", "People taking MRI scan say that it makes so much sound while operating. The magnetic field gradients in the MRI scanning process are trapped as rapid pulses into the computer to create 3-dimensional images of the region of body in the patient. The electric field creates magnetic pulses that are transient and not permanent. It is generated when the machine is running. There is also static magnetic field created strongly by the magnets in the machine. Essentially there are two magnetic fields created which are facing in opposite directions. MRI scanning is really a boon to the human society for diagnosing many disorders and helps the doctors for giving the patients optimal treatment. It is today considered a standard diagnostic technology available since its invention about 27 years ago.", "MRIs also notice the strength of these radio signals. Where there is a lot of water, for example in muscle, the signal is strong, and where there is less water, for example in bone, the signal is weak. The different strengths of the radio waves enable the MRI to fill in the image with the proper shades of gray. An MRI is noisy because its magnetic field is created by running electrical current through a coiled wire—an electromagnet. When the current is switched on, there is an outward force all along the coil. And because the magnetic field is so strong, the force on the coil is very large. The frequency of the proton's radio wave is determined by its wobbling rate; so the protons in water emit a radio frequency of about 50 million cycles per second. The heart of an MRI is basically just a strong magnet and a radio transmitter and receiver, plus a lot of electronics to coordinate their operation.", "Inside the scanner are coils of metallic wire. When electricity passes through the coils, a magnetic field is created and the coils vibrate. The sound the MRI makes is the metal coils vibrating and banging together inside the machine, creating a very strong magnetic field.

We also have a sound system so the patient may enjoy music through headphones while being scanned.", "Magnetic resonance imaging produces images of the body by causing shifts in a very strong magnetic field and measuring how tissues react, Dr. Hentel said. The principal magnet of an M.R.I. scanner commonly is strong enough to produce fields 60,000 times the strength of the earth’s natural magnetic field. Inside the scanner are coils of metal wire called gradient coils. When electricity is passed through such a coil, a magnetic field is created. The pulses cause not just the desired changes but undesired vibrations of the gradient coils, resulting in the banging heard during an M.R.I. examination. As stronger magnets result in stronger vibrations, the higher the field strength of the M.R.I. scanner, measured in teslas, the louder the banging", "A. The banging is the vibration of metal coils in the machine caused by rapid pulses of electricity, said Dr. Keith Hentel, chief of emergency/musculoskeletal imaging at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center. The pulses cause not just the desired changes but undesired vibrations of the gradient coils, resulting in the banging heard during an M.R.I. examination. As stronger magnets result in stronger vibrations, the higher the field strength of the M.R.I. scanner, measured in teslas, the louder the banging, Dr. Hentel said.", "Best Answer: Actually, there isn't any machinery involved and the strength of the magnet is only a small part of the story. The underlying trick which makes MRI work are the rapidly pulsed magnetic field gradients which allow the computers to create a 3-D picture of the patient. ", "In the simplest terms, MRI machines use extremely powerful magnets combined with electromagnetic fields, and coils which produce radio waves, to produce detailed images of organs and tissues in your body. MRI machines do not use radiation and are non-invasive. They are, however, noisy. Noise is created when magnetic fields are cycled on and off, and when magnets exert an opposing force to each other. (There are several magnets in each MRI machine.) The noise is not harmful, but some people may find it alarming or annoying. At Zwanger-Pesiri Radiology, we have invested in special sound dampening walls in our MRI waiting rooms so that you do not hear sounds from other scans while you are waiting. While you are having the exam itself, we provide you with headphones to diminish the sound and increase your comfort.", "Question of the Month Answered by: Russ Jacobs, Ph.D., Member of the Beckman Institute, Biology.
