Abstract

#Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a powerful tool to get #spatial information about muscles of different regions inside the body. It has the advantage of being non-invasive and being without any radiations. It is objective and quantitative tool. This review covers the basics of MRI and informs about how the image is obtained using MRI. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive imaging technique which forms images of the inside of the body [1,2]. MRI works on the principle of #nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), a phenomenon where nuclei of atoms get excited in the magnetic field by electromagnetic waves and emit signals [3,4]. #Magnetic Resonance (MR) was independently developed by Felix Bloch and Edward Purcell in 1946. Bloch and Purcell shared the 1952 Nobel Prize in physics for this discovery [1,4]. Paul Lauterbur generated the first MRI on small test tube samples in 1973 [1]. Lauterbur and Mansfield formed different ways to generate images from magnetic spins [4]. They both were awarded the Nobel Prize in #Medicine in 2003 for their discoveries about MRI [1]. Since then, MRI has been an invaluable tool for diagnosis of a number of #pathologies in medicine [2,5].
