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 ...

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 ...

If you recently have had an MRI scan, you may have noticed that clinical machines with 3.0-Tesla (T) field strength have replaced many earlier generation 1.5-T machines. Higher field strength ...

A team of researchers says it has discovered why so many people undergoing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), especially in newer high-strength machines, get vertigo, or the dizzy sensation of ...

Researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Siemens have developed a high-performance, low magnetic-field MRI system that produces superior images of the body’s internal structures ...

Mayo Clinic is now the proud owner of the only 7-Tesla MRI scanner earmarked for clinical use. Most MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) machines are either 1.5-Tesla or 3-Tesla scanners, said Kimberly ...

When the ECRI Institute released its free white paper for the C-suite about hot technologies for 2009, it probably didn't surprise anyone to see electronic medical records top the list. But the No. 2 ...

Researchers in the Netherlands have shown that a radiotherapy photon beam can be guided to a tumour using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In a step that the researchers claim will “open the door to ...
