Resonance
 
The exchange of energy at a particular frequency between two systems; a large amplitude vibration in a mechanical or electrical system caused by a relatively small periodic stimulus with a frequency at or close to a natural frequency of the system.
Resonance is referred to as the property of an atom to absorb energy only at the Larmor frequency. The energy must also be delivered at 90° to the net magnetic vector (NMV) and main magnetic field (B0). Otherwise, no energy will be absorbed, resonance will not have occurred and an image cannot be created. In MRI systems, resonance can refer to the MR itself or to the tuning of the RF circuitry.

T1 Relaxation
 
The return to equilibrium (high energy protons returns to the low energy state) within the lattice is named the T1, spin lattice or longitudinal relaxation. During the time T1, the spinning protons realign with the external magnetic field with an exchange of their energy, resulting in heat. The value of the T1 time depends of the tissues ability for energy exchange.

See also Longitudinal Relaxation Time.

The T2 relaxation time (spin spin relaxation time or transverse relaxation time), is a biological parameter that is used in MRIs to distinguish between tissue types and is termed 'Time 2' or T2. It is a tissue-specific time constant for protons and is dependent on the exchanging of energy with near by nuclei. T2 weighted images rely upon local dephasing of spins following the application of the transverse energy pulse. T2 is the decay of magnetization perpendicular to the main magnetic field (in an ideal homogeneous field).
Due to interaction between the spins, they lose their phase coherence, which results in a loss of transverse magnetization and MRI signal. After time T2 transverse magnetization has lost 63% of its original value. This tissue parameter determines the contrast.
The T2 relaxation is temperature dependent. At a lower temperature molecular motion is reduced and the decay times are reduced.
Fat has a very efficient energy exchange and therefore it has a relatively short T2.
Water is less efficient than fat in the exchange of energy, and therefore it has a long T2 time.

Adiabatic Fast Passage
 
(AFP) Adiabatic fast passage is a NMR technique of producing rotation of the macroscopic magnetization vector by shifting the frequency of RF energy pulses (or the strength of the magnetic field) through resonance (the Larmor frequency) in a time short compared to the relaxation times. Particularly used for inversion of the spins between high and low energy states with an excess of spins in the higher energy level. A continuous wave NMR technique used in e.g., MR spectroscopy.

Boltzmann Distribution
 
When a group of spins is placed in a magnetic field, each spin aligns in one of the two possible orientations. The relative numbers of spins with different alignments will be given by the Boltzmann distribution.
Definition: if a system of particles, which are able to exchange energy in collisions is in thermal equilibrium, then the relative number (population) of particles, N1 and N2, in two particular energy levels with corresponding energies, E1 and E2, is given by N1/N2 = exp [-(E1 - E2)/kT] where k is the Boltzmann constant and T is the absolute temperature.
For example, in NMR of protons at room temperature in a magnetic field of 0.25 tesla, the difference in relative numbers of spins aligned with the magnetic field and against the field is about one part in a million; the small excess of nuclei in the lower energy state is the basis of the net magnetization and the resonance phenomenon.
