Analytical, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques, and Equipment

Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images. The concept includes proton spin tomographic techniques.
