Macroaggregated Albumin
(MAA) Macroaggregated albumin is used in pulmonary perfusion scintigraphy to record the pulmonary circulation. Macroaggregated albumin is usually prepared by heating human serum albumin. The produced particle sizes range from 10 to 100 µm in diameter. The albumin may be labeled with 131I, 99mTc, or 113mI.

Magnetic Field
(H) The region surrounding a magnet (or current carrying conductor) is equipped with certain properties like that a small magnet in such a region experiences a torque that tends to align it in a given direction. Magnetic field is a vector quantity; the direction of the field is defined as the direction that the north pole of the small magnet points when in equilibrium.

Magnetic Flux Density
Magnetic flux density is the amount of magnetic flux per unit area of a section, perpendicular to the direction of flux. The magnetic flux density is the product of the magnetic field strength and permeability. The SI unit for flux density is weber per square meter. One weber per square meter equals one tesla (T).
Magnetic Permeability
Magnetic permeability is the degree of magnetization of a material that responds linearly to an applied magnetic field. The SI units of permeability are henry per meter (H/m) or newton per square ampere (N/A2).
Magnification
Usually, magnification is the enlargement of an area by interpolation after the reconstruction of an image. Magnification does not provide more information, but allows a better view of certain object details. A zoom reconstruction is based on the raw data of the scan. Magnification software enlarges an image by mapping one pixel onto an n x n array of screen pixels (pixel stretching).
Other types of magnification include electron-optical, geometric, the product of geometric and the electron-optical magnification and enlargement by imaging procedures.
Electron-optical magnification is the ratio of the dimension of the detector input image and the size of the image on the screen. This ratio is determined by all electronic and optical imaging processes of the image chain, provided that one camera pixel is mapped onto accurately one monitor pixel.
Geometric magnification occurs in x-ray images when the focal spot is theoretically assumed to be a point and not an area. For nanofocus and microfocus radiographic systems, the focus-to-detector (film) distance and the focus-to-object (film) distance defines the geometric magnification.
The total magnification is the product of the electron-optical and geometric magnification. Possible magnifications are up to a factor of 26,000.
Magnification procedures in medical imaging are usually produced by extended distance between the subject and the image receptor.
