Scientists NR> in particular, they propose to rotate the patient during tomography under this NR> called the "magic angle". The fact is that when an object rotates, NR> tilted 54.7 degrees with respect to the magnetic field, NR> the spectral resolution of images is increased many times over. And o NR> the existence of the “magic angle” was known a few more NR> decades ago. However, the main difficulty is that NR> the rotation speed should be several thousand revolutions per second. NR> It is clear that a living organism cannot withstand such a load NR> state. At the same time, slowing down the rotation speed leads to NR> the appearance of a large amount of interference. NR> It was these artifacts that Pacific researchers learned to eliminate NR> Northwestern National Laboratory, USA. As it turned out, NR> You can get rid of noise using pulsating radio waves. NR> A technique called "magnetic resonance spectroscopy under NR> magic angle", allows for approximately ten times improvement NR> spectral resolution when rotating with a frequency from one to three NR> revolutions per second. However, even at this rotation speed NR> conduct research on living organisms, not to mention humans NR> is almost impossible. However, scientists believe that, in the long term, NR> it will be possible to create an installation in which it will not rotate NR> the object under study, and the magnetic field itself.
