Q130 / 200 · MHT CET - Medical 2026 (23 April Shift 2) · Chemistry
Which of the following inert gases is used for magnetic resonance imaging?
- Correct answerA$\text{He}$
- B$\text{Ne}$
- C$\text{Ar}$
- D$\text{Xe}$
Solution
Liquid helium (boiling point $4.2 \text{ K}$) is used as a cryogenic agent to cool the superconducting magnets which form an essential part of modern Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectrometers and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) systems for clinical diagnosis.
Therefore, Helium ($\text{He}$) is the inert gas used for magnetic resonance imaging.
Answer: $\text{He}$
Therefore, Helium ($\text{He}$) is the inert gas used for magnetic resonance imaging.
Answer: $\text{He}$
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
