For years, researchers and medical companies have explored low-field MRI systems (those with a magnetic field strength of less than 1 T) — searching for a feasible alternative to the loud, expensive ...

Two German physicists have reimagined how to create powerful and uniform magnetic fields using compact permanent magnets. By overcoming the limitations of the well-known Halbach array, which works ...

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a technique using magnets, radio waves, and a computer that produces images of soft tissues in the body, like muscles and organs. Unlike some other imaging tests, ...

Scientists at the University of Aberdeen have developed an ultra-low magnetic scanner, which can perform MRI scans without the need for intravenous contrast agents and with unprecedented precision.

Of all the high-tech medical gadgets we read about often, the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) machine is possibly the most mysterious of all. The ability to peer inside a living body, in a minimally ...

Designated April 26, 2011, at Stony Brook University in Stony Brook, New York, and April 8, 2011, at Agilent Technologies in Santa Clara, California. MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) has become a ...
