This is a past event
Learn how this fascinating technique works and more about past and current research on the topic.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a technique used every day in hospitals around the world to diagnose disease. It uses strong magnetic fields and weak pulses of radiowaves to produce extremely detailed pictures of a patient’s internal organs, highlighting abnormal areas. Professor Lurie, Chair in Biomedical Physics at Aberdeen University, will start by explaining how MRI works (no scientific background required!) He will then speak about the personalities and science behind Aberdeen’s early work on MRI, and will complete his talk by describing his research group’s current work on Fast Field-Cycling MRI and how it might lead to earlier and more reliable diagnosis of a range of diseases.
This event is free, no booking required, but donations to Satrosphere will gratefully be accepted on the night.
