Magnetic Resonance Imaging - Psychology
Research News and Information
Definition of '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.
