Magnetic resonance imaging development

Liquid helium s use in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) continues to increase as the medical profession accepts and develops new uses for the equipment. This equipment has eliminated some need for exploratory surgery by accurately diagnosing patients. Another medical application uses MRE to determine (by blood analysis) whether a patient has any form of cancer. 

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is the principal technique for the identification of organic compounds and is among the leading techniques for the determination of their structures. The technique has also been developed, as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), as a diagnostic procedure in medicine. 

Magnetic resonance imaging, or microtomography by multinuclear magnetic resonance, is another new development that is even more exciting because it provides three-dimensional mapping of the abundance of a variety of atoms. Compositional aspects of microstructme can thereby be resolved. However, the resolution... 

Magnetic resonance imaging has enabled the development of a completely novel type of viscometer. This technique is based on the capacity of MRI to accurately measure velocity profiles in opaque liquids. Its potential applications include many systems of industrial relevance, such as polymer melts and slurries. The data presented here clearly show that a wide range of fluid behaviors can be measured. 

Her present research interests are focused onto the design, synthesis of new lanthanide complexes as contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), as well as the development of a novel series of pH and p02 indicators for 111 NMR spectroscopic imaging ( II-MRSI). More recently, she has been involved in synthesis and evaluation of nanostructurated contrast agents. 

It is important to mention that another visualization technique based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been developed in order to observe the water flow inside fuel cells. However, in this technique, all the materials used in the fuel cell have to be nonmagnetic. For this reason, the water content in the CL and DL (made from CFP or from CC) would be difficult to visualize with MRI.
