IOP Vision Paper on Magnetic Resonance Imaging
The Institute of Physics Vision Papers are part of our strategy to demonstrate to policy-makers and the general public the importance of leading-edge physics research. More than 70 million MRI hospital scans are carried out every year worldwide and ingenious new MRI methodologies continue to be developed. These allow scientists and clinicians to follow physiological and biochemical changes in the body in real time, as well as opening the way to earlier diagnosis of disease and less invasive surgery. We are pleased to share our Vision Papers with the physics community outside the UK, in order to raise the profile of physics research with policy-makers and science funders internationally. Please email tajinder.panesor@iop.org with requests to re-use this material.
