The powerful magnetic force of MRI machines has led to some horrific disasters, including a tragic incident involving a gun. We look at the worst accidents over the years ...

What's the difference between an MRI, an ultrasound and a sonogram in pregnancy? An ultrasound uses sound waves to capture fetal images. Those sound waves "bounce off the tissues in the body ...

Assessing lung ventilation Newcastle University researchers examine images produced using 19 F-MRI of inhaled perfluoropropane. (Courtesy: Newcastle University, UK) Assessing lung function is crucial ...

For conventional MRI scanners, acquiring high-resolution images requires cooling the magnets to around -270 °C. To achieve this, the magnets are immersed in around 2,000 litres of liquid helium ...

"Whereas with an MRI, the images are clearer, so they're a little easier to see the anatomy in it." Both ultrasounds and MRIs are completely safe for both mom and baby. Debari points out that ...

Study finds that ultrafast MRI-based radiomics model performs just as well as standard MRI in classifying breast cancer ...

MRI systems are built to capture images with high SNR by utilizing magnets that operate at high and ultra-high fields and utilize dedicated radiofrequency coils and scanner electronics.
