Aligning the spins of carbon nuclei before injecting them into the body, makes MRI imaging that much easier. One of the major problems with magnetic resonance imaging machines is the huge magnetic fields required to make them work and the giant superconducting magnets that generate them. These magnets usually have a field strength of around 1.5 Tesla althoug […]
