You're just awesome

[@ondrejburkot4660]

Please, could you share list of web pages and documents (bibliography), which you used in making this video? I'm writing Bachelor's degree work and I wrote some of information you mentioned in video, but I have to cite them :( It would be very useful for me

[@andreymityanov3252]

The return of net magnetization in the longitudinal plane does not give off a signal. This means that T1 cannot be measured directly. Please, tell, how T1 is actually measured

[@amrinislam7948]

Sir plz make part 4 ,other remaining topics u r awesome ,u make the mri concept easier plz sir ,I need to know for my exam

[@msgreymatter4061]

Beginning, me thinking "Ooooh, 43 minutes, isn't that a bit long?". 3 hours later: still at minute 12, as I keep rewatching with normal and 1.5x speed to make sure, I get it all. GREAT explanation. My textbook has led me down, but you're getting me right back on track again :)))

[@nnonyedoris9751]

😃😃😃

[@musikpal]

Yep some text books are terrible. I threw my general Chem text book in a recycling bin so no one will ever read it because there was only a tiny tiny part of a section of a chapter that covered Quantum mechanic.

[@shawnmclean7707]

Bro I’m stuck at 4mins

[@mihaigherman3713]

Same

[@ScottWalshWoodworking]

This is outrageously good content. The visuals are so well done and so important for a good understanding.

[@DKonigsbach]

Several have commented here that this is the best explanation of MRI they've encountered. I'll go further. This is perhaps the best physics lecture I've heard. And given how many excellent physics videos are here on KZbin, that's saying a lot.

[@user-ki6uh6wc8j]

The lecture literally saves my life! The explanation is so straightforward and easy to follow. Will recommend it to my mates. Cheers!

[@joaosaraiva6315]

I need the second part, I have an exam this week 😭😭😭😭😭 you can't abandon us like this

[@36_azzamadnan28]

same bro same :'(

[@ankitnmnaik229]

Which course are u pursuing

[@ankitnmnaik229]

:) :))((())))))))))

[@halonothing1]

Before even watching this video I'm going to say the fact that it's over 40 minutes long is VERY promising. It tells me the author(s) didn't cut any corners or dumb anything down for the sake of appealing to typical KZbinrs. That shows some real integrity, and I respect the heck out of such integrity. I can't stand it when a video claims to explain an incredibly complex subject that requires a layperson have some background knowledge in a lot of fields in 5 minutes.

[@nijatibrahimov7451]

This is one of the most extensive explanations of MRI on youtube. Many thanks for the effort you've put to make this video. It's sad that there is no part 2.

[@brigritte2091]

part 2 and 3 is out now! the link is in the description. 🤓!

[@spectra6995]

Great Video, Thank you! I’m waiting for part II.

[@FraizyMD]

Hands down the greatest MRI physics lecture I've seen so far... Keep up the good work! I'm avidly waiting for part II! - Rads Resident

[@michealjones807]

SO GOOD! So many areas of foggy confusion cleared up for me. Everybody always wants a hand-waving non-descriptive explanation which just kills my need to understand every little detail. I cant thank you enough for this video.

[@LBoogie49]

As an MRI Tech, I truly appreciated the ease and level of understanding that this video was placed. It’s not the easiest to explain in layman’s terms of course, but this was awesome. I’m always looking for a different way to review and improve on my skill set and I enjoyed this!

[@ololh4xx]

i am no medical professional, nor am i a physician ... and yet, i managed to follow the basic explanations and now know the abstract concept about how MRIs work. That is cool.

[@AlberGrau]

one of the best explanations about MRI on youtube, thanks for sharing

[@g.aloysie8439]

ohh my God, thank you very much, i spent two weeks trying to understand this chapter but one video made it all clear

[@Ravprot]

This is the best animation and teaching video I've found. Thanks for this!

[@sankalpprabhu6637]

This explanation is so clear and concise - excellent material for a resident radiologist. Please upload the second part, we're all waiting to learn more! :)

[@Liz-ye1qi]

Even though the lecture is long, you didn’t just upload a lengthy lecture of monotone “I know I’ve repeated this multiple times but hear me out” kind of voice, but you actually take your time to explain and make the environment fun and active. Thank you!

[@giuseppefusco1189]

This is a great video! Really hope to see part II anytime soon.

[@roflawlmao123]

Thank you so much for this lecture. Probably the highest quality, clearest I've heard without oversimplifications.

[@jonathanfuss3611]

I really like, how you try (and succeed) to be scientifically correct but still being able to explain everything simple enough for everyone to understand. Waiting for a second part!

[@thinkingahead6750]

Brilliant. Thank you so much for putting in the time and effort to make this available. Are you doing a Part2 ?

[@stephenparallox]

Great video, you really touch on the physicals portions of MRI better than any other video I have come across.

[@rh1z0me]

Amazing and incredibly simple (but at the same time very deep) explanation of the MRI/NMR technology. I'm very glad to find this video, while preparing to neuroimaging technology exam. It's a bit long but certainly worth to watch. Waintin' for more - thank you!

[@2513hey]

Finally a very good video on this matter, thank you so much, we're still waiting for the second part.

[@felixgross4961]

Tremendous video! The very best on this matter so far imo. Thank you. Put your hands up for Part 2! Looking forward.

[@satishuniyal2526]

It's a wonderful presentation. A melodious and clear voice. No complexity, no confusion and simple enough. Thanks a lot

[@headpox5817]

35:56 "Stay with me. Don't get lost just yet." I love it..! I was already mostly lost, but had to keep watching... Such incredible content. Beautifully delivered.

[@thomasspoerer2930]

Amazing you share such high quality teaching with the world for free like this! Immensely appreciated! And if you can't already tell how much we all love your video, I'm also going to ask for Part II...

[@msmarji]

Best explanation and graphics for MR on YT. Looking forward to part 2. Thank you so much for all your time and effort in creating this video.

[@landrynzudie5752]

Excellent video. Very well presented with clear visuals. Looking forward to part II. Thanks

[@isaackay5887]

Please do a Part 2! I was really looking forward to bring-watching this lol -- subscribed though!

[@jessereynolds9013]

Best MRI video I have seen. The animations are super helpful! Thanks

[@natalieadolphi7317]

I'm an MR physicist, and I'm very picky about getting the physics correct, and this video is very good! Kudos!

[@sina8883]

Wow! So good! I am no physicist or mathematician, but even hearing it once and being exposed to it was very helpful conceptually. Thank you, and I can’t wait for part two!

[@MickyTN24]

Please meka a part 2!!! is was by far the best explanation I found on KZbin!

[@gabrielgandarilla6936]

Sir, this is an excellent breakdown of how NMR/MRI works. 10/10 will watch again, thx

[@joetheindividual4855]

I’m only 8 minutes in and it has answered a bunch of questions that I always ask myself when I’m in there. Doing my entire spine was a long time to think about stuff. Thank you.

[@laautaro11]

this is amazing, really hope you can make it back with a part 2! would be lovely from you to add in the description or in some comment recommended literature from where you study, thanks!

[@hazarbenanunal6482]

One of the best videos on MRI.

[@geosamways]

Brilliant explanation. The best I have seen! I have been struggling to visualise this for years. The animations are great and your delivery style is perfect . . . .Many thanks

[@user-bq6bg9jq6g]

This is pure gold!!Fantastic explanation!!

[@PhoenixSparrow]

This is a brilliant video, some of the clearest explanations I've heard! I hope one day you can make part 2.

[@Musicrulzbff]

this is the best MRI video out on youtube, thank you!

[@philippoMC]

please make a second part, this explanation was amazing!

[@tanmayahmed4622]

Thanks. This is the most illustrative and intuitive one video in youtube to understand MRI.

[@mkimball6]

I'm getting a PhD in a chem lab that uses a lot of solid state NMR, so I was familiar with T1 and T2, but not how the weighting works or how pulse angles mesh with QM. I learned a lot! I can't wait to watch part 2 in a bit. I wonder if our pulse programs are different

[@ulfleisner585]

I'd be really happy to see part two! You rock!

[@hazelchou6919]

Brilliant Job!!!!!! Thank you so much for making it!!!!! Waiting for part 3 and more!!

[@ChargedCMOS]

I don't really know who you are, but what I know is that I'm forever grateful to you for making this video! thank you so much!

[@ryandoyle3413]

My dad worked for 15 years or so on MRIs before transferring to another company, this is such a cool explanation of how they actually work! I'm more used to the context of NMR, since I'm an analytical chemist

[@amirm7373]

fantastic! but we are waiting for the second part :)

[@user-fu7lj9tv4y]

the best MRI video I have watched so far. thank you for your generous sharing!

[@The_Faubla]

This is brilliant content. Thank you for taking the time to produce, explain and visualize. Very much appreciated

[@Mandjieva]

This is absolutely amazing video 😍 Thank you so much for all your time and efforts. Animations are amazing. You are the great lecturer!

[@BogdanNMarincu]

This was an excellent explanation! Thank you so much for creating it

[@aocchan]

I have no previous knowledge of physics whatsoever but, for various reasons, I have to study the physics behind imaging methods. Thank you very much, even with my complete ignorance I was able to follow most of your video. Your exposition was really brilliant. I hope you are a teacher!

[@payalpatel4316]

The Best, video to explain NMR. Thanks a lot for the hard work put in to explain and animate things. Waiting for the next video. Again, thanks a lot :)

[@mandardeodhar400]

Both the animation and explanation are fantastic. Thank you very much!

[@rhcorr]

Thanks for this video, amazing content. I never expected to understand such complex physics! Hope you find the time to work on part 2.

[@sunshiney15]

One of the best explanation of the physics behind MRI I've listened to...Great job!

[@Sugoiboi64d4]

What a time to be alive.. thank you for such a visually pleasing and concise explanation

[@zhenbinlyu5852]

Thank You very much! Very helpful! Waiting for part 2!

[@luissnooze548]

Really helpful!! I hope you still planning on doing part II 🙏🏼

[@five5716]

I dont write that much comments, but this video deserves it. I am studying medical technologys in germany and this video explained a whole subject to me. Its incredible good. Thank you!!!!!!!!!

[@fajardofje]

excellent animations, the right ammount of math and very pedagogic. Bravo!

[@sdsa007]

Amazing! Love the suspense at the end!

[@shubhamsinghrajpurohit7431]

Man this is the best video ever i got in you tube about mri .

[@soleparadise4822]

I am so happy I found this video!!! I’ve been slacking off cuz it’s been difficult to understand but you really explain so crystal clear thank you so much 😊

[@priyaseth9877]

wow, 10 minutes into the video and Im blown by the amazing explanation. I never understood physics in childhood and this was wonderful. Thanks a lot for helping us out

[@apbosh1]

Most interesting! I'm not in the industry at all but i managed to follow the concept because you explain it so clearly.

[@ManoharanC-PSGCT]

This 43 min presentation requires more repeated listening to understand the principle behind this. I am not technical, but able to follow what is presented. Appreciate the efforts for preparing this presentation with animations.

[@oksound3861]

The most glaring property of your video and succinct explanations is the ' lack of ' presumptions of the viewers likely ignorance which for me is most effective not to mention pure and personallt deeply appreciated. Thank you!

[@michaelbergstrom8919]

This is brilliant. I am so looking forward to part 2

[@zakii987]

wonderful video!!! Pt. 2 please!

[@lauricasoare]

Thank you for this! Amazing and very clear explanations!

[@philliphelmbright4833]

Top notch work!!!! Looking forward to all your future videos!! Thank you!!

[@AseveraTv]

Thank you for the video :) I do hope we get a part 2 soon!

[@alexanderdiederichs7332]

this video is truely fantastic! The Visuals are great and I like also that you make remarks to the more complicated physics

[@mathformikey2222]

Thank you so much for this video, really appreciated it :D A release of part II would be phenomenal!

[@millerfour2071]

An impressive piece of work, bravo!

[@heisenberg_fisher2890]

This is exceptionally high quality content. Thank you very much for your time and effort. We really appreciate it.

[@ThePrime125]

This video is incredibly good, i am trying to understand to MRI to shortly explain it in a radiomic master thesis, and this is by far the best I have seen, also promps for actually talking about the boltsman equation, it reminds me of semiconductor stuff !

[@XRayduQ]

Very good lecture ! I loved the animations !

[@trainerbrock2428]

This video is incredible. Great work! very well done

[@thomasnewsom1911]

This video was really helpful, the diagrams are great! Thank you.
