2.3.1 Disturbance to obtain Non-Zero α Va l u e
The external field (apart from the strong constant magnetic moment B 0 ) is applied for
the short duration (
) in such away that the resultant magneticmoment E
τ
(
t
)
is rotating
M
exactly with the larmor frequency of the magnetic moment
(
t
)
to be disturbed. It
M
is noted that the macro magnetic moment
obtained using the hydrogen atoms
that are aligned in the z -direction due to the availibility of strong magnetic moment
B 0 in the z -direction. The interaction between the magnetic moment
(
t
)
M
(
t
)
aligned
E
in the z -direction with magnitude M 0 and the rotating magnetic moment
on
the transverse plane is described by the bloch equations as described below. The
strength of the magnetic moment
(
t
)
E
(
t
)
is strong compared with the natural magnetic
M
moment
available in the human body that are aligned initially in the z -direction.
Rewriting the bloch equation using M

and E
(

(

, we get the following.

Solving the Eqs. ( 2.12 )-( 2.14 ) as described in the Sect. 2.1 , we still get the resultant
magnetic moment
M
lies only in the z -direction. It is noted from the equations
that the transverse magnetic moment is zero due to the initial conditions M x (
(
t
)
0
) =
,
M y (
) =

0.
But in practice, due to the external field, there is the disturbance in the resultant
magnetic moment and there exist very low magnitude M x and M y component that
rotates in the larmor frequency due to the existance of strong field B 0 as described in
the Sect. 2.1 . Now consider the interaction between the magnetic fields E

(

(which
components) and B
has E x (

and E y (
t
)
(
t
)
(which has B z (
t
) =
B 0 component) on the
M
magnetic moment
(
t
)
which have all the three components.
