Strong magnets tend to be large and power-hungry, but a new design has produced a powerful magnet that fits in the palm of your hand, making it more practical and affordable ...

As the push toward stronger and faster MRI scanners continues, so does concern over magnet safety, according to Filiz Yetisir, who discussed the potential effects MRI has on patients at the recent ...

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a great tool for diagnosing disease in different organs and tissues, but it can be costly and cumbersome. Now, engineers at the Boston University Photonics Center ...

Expanding on earlier research, Johns Hopkins researchers report that people with balance disorders or dizziness traceable to an inner-ear disturbance show distinctive abnormal eye movements when the ...

Made to measure: Metrolab’s MFC2046 camera system is used for magnet “ramping” and detailed field mapping of MRI systems – a combination that saves time and money in the assembly plant (above) and ...

Most current MRI machines are rated as 1.5-T and 3-T, where the 'T' stands for Tesla, the unit of measurement used to describe the strength of an MRI's magnet. Any mercury leakage as a result of ...
