• A diagram detailing how magnets are used with a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) machine to help create detailed images of the human body
• The parts of the MRI include:
  • Main magnet- This powerful magnet immerses the patient in a stable, intense magnetic field—the other three magnets create a variable field.
  • Head to toe field magnets, top to bottom field magnets and left to right field magnets create a variable field. These also allow data to be read up and down the body.

Once this process is complete images such as the one of the spinal cord in the picture can capture things such as a small tumor hidden within it. Each scan can take several minutes, so the patient must lie very still. The location of Radio-frequency source and Motorized bed is shown in the diagram.
