Correct Answers
Active Shielding
✓ ~~> The use of a coil of wire, with an electrical current running through
it, to produce an electromagnetic field opposing the static magnetic
field, to reduce the fringe field.
Bsub0
✓ ~~> The unit used to describe the static magnetic field.
Deflection
✓ ~~> The amount of attraction an object has to the static magnetic
field.

✓ ~~> This describes how electrical currents are produced in the
presence of alternating magnetic fields.
Ferromagnetism
✓ ~~> An object with strong attractive force, in a strong static magnetic
field, that retains a magnetic field even when leaving the strong static
magnetic field.
Flux Lines
✓ ~~> The gradient of magnetic densities that move from the north pole
of the static magnetic field to the south pole.
Fringe Field
✓ ~~> The magnetic field that extends outside the MR unit.
Gauss
✓ ~~> A magnetic field unit of measurement.
Horizontal Static Magnetic Field

Lenz's Force
✓ ~~> The process of non-ferrous objects producing a magnetic field
when moved through a strong static magnetic field.
Magnetic Field Strength
✓ ~~> The overall magnetic field strength of the MR unit.
Magnetic Moment
✓ ~~> An individual magnetic field produced by each hydrogen proton.
Magnohydrodynamic Effect
✓ ~~> When a patient is exposed to a strong static magnetic field, their
blood becomes magnetized. This causes an elevated T wave in their
cardiac cycle.
Paramagnetic
✓ ~~> A weakly attractive force when placed in a static magnetic field.
