Extract
In a standard whole-body NMR-scanning machine, the static magnetic field is generated by an electric current driven through large solenoid coils. Dynamic magnetic gradient fields are generated by electric current pulses in coils located at various orientations, thus producing magnetic gradients in x, y, and z directions. The Rf (radiofrequency) radiation is transmitted through a specially shaped coil which also serves as an antenna receiving the NMR signals.
