Magnetic resonance imaging medicine

NMR can be used for the accurate determination of nuclear moments. It can also be used in a sensitive form of magnetometer to measure magnetic fields. In medicine, magnetic resonance Imaging (MRI) has been developed, in which images of tissue are produced by magnetic-resonance techniques. Functional MRI (fMRI) can detect changes in blood flow that accompany neural activity and is therefore used to study brain function. See Feature.

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. 

As hydrogen is the most common element in the human body, it is not surprising that nuclear magnetic resonance has found applications in the field of medicine as magnetic resonance imaging or MRI.
