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.

Figure 1. MRI images of the brain, with the default mode network (DMN) highlighted in orange/red. The DMN is active during periods of wakeful rest, when the mind is not focused on a particular task. The green and blue arrows point to areas of the network that are disrupted in adolescent patients with concussions.
