Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) can take detailed images of our insides using a strong magnetic field. This magentic field aligns all the protons in the water molecules of our body in the same direction, like being turned into a human compass! MRI is especially useful for viewing soft tissues and organs which aren't visible on an X-Ray, but can also be used to see inside Ancient Mummies and peek inside dinosaur fossils! Come join us this evening to learn more about the science of MRI and it's amazing applications! Kindly Sponsored by the IMSRM!

MRI - a slice of life

Anina Seidemo (Doctoral student, Medical Radiation Physics,)

I am a medical physicist and a PhD student in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at Lund University, Sweden.
During this talk we will discover how radio-frequent electromagnetic fields, strong magnets and a dash of quantum physics can slice you up to provide detailed anatomical and physiological information in a harmless way.

From Pitcher to Proton

Dr Adrian Tang (Consultant Radiologist (Gastrointestinal, ENT/Head Neck & Oncology))

How magnets, humans and artificial intelligence can tell you if you're safe to drive back home tonight.
