MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has developed into one of the most versatile techniques in clinical imaging and biomedical research by providing non-invasively high resolution‚ three-dimensional anatomical and contrast-enhanced images of living tissue. The two most common groups of contrast-enhancing agents are gadolinium-based complexes and magnetic nanoparticles. Both types of contrast agents shorten locally the relaxation time of bulk water protons via rapid exchange

History and Science Behind MRI: Open or Closed Case? Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has been called one of the most comprehensive and efficacious diagnostic imaging modalities in medical history. It became a viable clinical technique in 1982 and during its relatively short lifetime has become the primary imaging modality for investigations of the brain‚ spinal cord‚ spine‚ cancellous bone‚ and joints. It is widely used for the identification and staging of tumors‚ investigations of large

INTRODUCTION: Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI) is a non invasive medical imaging method widely used in hospitals and in research. In year 1946 Felix Bloch of Standard /university and Edward Purcell of Harvard University made the first succesful nuclear magnetic resonance experiment to study chemical compounds‚ they were awarded the Nobel Prize for physics in 1952. In early 1980 ’s the first human magnetic resonance imaging( MRI) scanners became available‚ producing images of the inside of the
