The stories behind The Giant Magnetic Donut

Lyrics

What's super cold, super strong, and shaped like a

giant donut?

The MRI!

Hold on to your paper clips!

Slide onto the table like a space explorer crew

Go in the tunnel where the magnets look at you

It doesn't use an x -ray, it doesn't use a beam

It's the strongest electromagnet that you've ever seen

Cooled with liquid helium, super duper cold

Colder than an iceberg,

a million winters old

Three -hole Tesla of magnetic power

Spinning all the atoms around for half an hour

Your body's mostly water,

H2O inside Every little proton is going on a ride

Radio waves whisper, turn around and flip

Then they whisper back on a scientific trail

The giant magnetic donut, look at how it spins

That's where the biometric magic begins

Hydrogen atoms dancing in a line

Showing every muscle looking healthy and fine

Tap, tap, thump, here the coils go

Putting on a microscopic magnetic show, no

Radiation, just a radio sound

Clearest 3D picture in the whole hospital town

The gradient coils tap a rhythm on the wall

Sounds like a jackhammer knocking down a hall

Put on funny headphones,

listen to the beat

Watching all the slices line up nice and neat

Biomeds test the helium, check the radio shield

Makin' sure there's zero metal in the magnetic field

The giant magnetic donut, look at how it spins

That's where the Biomed picture magic begins

Hydrogen atoms dancin' in a line

Showin' every muscle lookin' healthy and fine

Tap, tap, thump, here the coils go

Putting on microscopic magnetic show, no

Radiation just a radio sound

Clearest 3D picture in the whole hospital town

Protons line up Line them up

Hit them with the pulse

Zap

Protons flip back Flip

Take the snapshot Click

Look at that brain scan

Wow The giant magnetic donut

Look at how it spins, that's where the

Biomat picture magic begins

Hydrogen atoms dancing in a line

Showing every muscle looking healthy and fine

Tap, tap, thump, here the coils go

Putting on a microscopic magnetic show

No radiation,

just a radio sound

Clearest 3D picture in the whole hospital town

Stay still

Picture perfect Great job
