What makes the time-varying gradient field (TVGF) different than the time-varying
RF field (TVRF)?
The TVGF will produce resonance in the patient.
, The TVGF uses a faster changing magnetic field than the TVRF.
The TVGF uses a slower changing magnetic field than the TVRF.
The TVGF will induce more heating in the patient than the TVRF. - ANSWER: The
TVGF uses a slower changing magnetic field than the TVRF.
