The MRI machine next sends a radio pulse at the area of the body being scanned. The radio pulse makes some of the "uncancalled" atoms spin at a particular frequency and in a particular direction, depending on the type of tissue they make up. When the pulse shuts off, the atoms return to their natural alignment and release energy, giving off a signal that the MRI machine picks up. A computer processes the signals and produces an
image of the different types of tissue.
