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 ...

MRI machines rely on massive superconducting magnets and complex software to produce detailed images of our organs and tissues. This video explains how engineers create stable magnetic fields and ...

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 ...

Magnesium diboride (MgB2) superconducting magnets represent a transformative advance in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology. Owing to its relatively higher superconducting transition ...

Magnets are everywhere in our daily lives, even if we don’t always notice them. From holding up notes on the fridge to powering complex machines, magnetism plays a crucial role in technology, science, ...

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, ...

Adam Taylor does not work for, consult, own shares in or receive funding from any company or organization that would benefit from this article, and has disclosed no relevant affiliations beyond their ...

I know from personal experience that getting an MRI is not exactly a lot of fun. A stranger rolls you into a small tube and tells you to remain perfectly still. Then unseen gears and magnets start to ...

A study of 33 children's hospitals has found that use of computed tomography (CT) for the 10 most common diagnostic groups in children decreased from 2004 to 2012. Meanwhile, rates for magnetic ...
