There are also three gradient magnets inside the MRI machine. These magnets are much lower strength compared to the main magnetic field; they may range in strength from 180 gauss to 270 gauss. While the main magnet creates an intense, stable magnetic field around the patient, the gradient magn...
to books, to music, to our 'smart' devices, and consume that content. Smart devices use streaming signals — data encoded in IP data packets — encoded and distributed via wi-fi internet. Language streaming would work, in principle, in the same way. With a 'language chip' implanted ...
He was in the hospital looking at one of his MRI machines in use, when he saw a young family, and this little girl. And that little girl was crying and was terrified. And Doug was really disappointed to learn that nearly 80 percent of the pediatric patients in this hospital had to be...
deformed back. An MRI is a painless procedure where you lie perfectly still inside a claustrophobic machine while it makes all kinds of scary noises as it blasts your body with ominous radioactive waves. (Okay, intellectually I know MRI machines don’t use radiation, but emotionally, I still...
Each child lay in an MRI machine and watched a computer screen on which were displayed different images of actors making 'fearful' and 'neutral' faces. A scanner captured the child's brain activity in response to each kind of face, and those images were analyzed to determine whether the ...
Magnetic resonance imaging— magnetic resonance imaging technologists take images using equipment that generates radio waves and a magnetic field like an MRI machine. These technologists use MRIs to view issues within organs such as the heart and brain. ...

3D LifePrints use Simpleware software as part of services for providing 3D anatomical models for clinical situations.For example, models have been used for looking at liver tumors and potential radiation treatment methods. The 3D printed models provide an additional option for clinicians to better und...
If the mutation is in a sperm or an egg cell, it may lead to birth defects. Because of all these risks, doctors use X-rays sparingly today. Even with these risks, X-ray scanning is still a safer option than surgery. X-ray machines are an invaluable tool in medicine, as well as ...
Other scientists suggest that the technology could eventually allow us to manipulate human memory. Ultrasonic mind control is a science very much in its infancy. With enough research, we might one day live in an age where police use ultrasound to incapacitate you at a protest, while physicians ...
