Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

MRI creates images from the magnetic resonance created in hydrogen atoms when they are polarized and an electromagnetic pulse is used to knock them off axis. This section includes MR analysis software, MRI scanners, gadolinium contrast agents and related magnetic resonance imaging accessories.

Boston University College of Engineering professor Xin Zhang and her research collaborators have developed a new, 3-D metamaterial that has the potential to improve MRI imaging of the human brain. The spherical structure can be worn like a helmet, and change size to create images more quickly and at a higher quality – ultimately improving MRI functionality while reducing costs.
