Magnetic resonance imaging is a noninvasive structural technique for complex systems of molecules, such as people. In its simplest form, MRI portrays the concentration of protons in a sample. If the sample—which may be a living human body—is exposed to a uniform magnetic field in an NMR spectrometer and if we work at a resolution that does not show any chemical shifts or fine structure, then the protons... 

No abnormalities were noted in any of the computer-assisted tomography scans or magnetic resonance images, nor in the blood chemistry or hematology evaluations. No systemic effects of the implants were noted on histological examination of any of the tissues exaoiined. No unexpected or untoward reactions to the treatments were observed. 

Given their radio-frequency electrical properties and nuclear magnetic resonance chemical shift components, solutions of reversed micelles constituted of water, AOT, and decane have been proposed as suitable systems to test and calibrate the performance of magnetic resonance imagers [68]. 

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.

Imaging studies, such as x-ray and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), can identify osteomyelitis. Blood cultures should be obtained from all patients with signs and symptoms of systemic illness. Deep tissue cultures may help to direct therapy. Bone also maybe sent for culture in cases of osteomyelitis. Superficial cultures are unreliable and should be avoided.
