DESCRIPTION:For the July meeting\, the Alabama Section has invited Dr. Dani
 el Goldberg-Zimring from the Department of Radiology at the University of 
 Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). UAB Hospital is the leading hospital in Alaba
 ma and the home of some of the top medical programs in the US. It is a 120
 0 licensed bed hospital that covers a complete range of primary and specia
 lty care services. It is also among the 20 largest and best equipped hospi
 tals in the US.\n\nDr. Goldberg will explain how MR images are acquired an
 d will use his background in Biomedical Engineering\, to highlight the dif
 ferent pieces of hardware and software that are needed for this. This incl
 udes the superconductive electromagnets used to generate the main and very
  powerful magnetic fields used in MRI\, the transmission of radio frequenc
 y energy to the patients\, and the rapid switching of magnetic field gradi
 ents to perform the spatial encoding that identifies the exact location in
 side the patient’s body where the generated signals come from.\n\nSpeake
