published by the PhET

Available Languages: English, Spanish

This is an interactive simulation on the topic of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). The user can change the applied magnetic field and the RF signal and observe the effect on magnetic spins. In the NMR mode, the user can choose between different atoms. In the MRI mode, the user can include gradients to the magnetic field and add a tumor to the head being visualized.

This is part of a larger collection developed by the Physics Education Technology project (PhET).

Please note that this resource requires at least version 1.5.0_15 of Java Applet Plug-in.
