-
that radio frequency wave has to be exactly right
-
for the atoms that you want to move.
-
It has to be radio waves
-
that are at the correct frequency or wavelength
-
to stimulate these particular atoms.
-
That's one of the things that makes MR so versatile,
-
in that if you stimulate them with one frequency,
-
you can manipulate hydrogen atoms.
-
If you stimulate them with another frequency,
-
you can stimulate other atoms.
-
Now, the reason why most of the images you'll see
-
are based on protons or hydrogen nuclei is because
