Abstract

This talk will start out with a nut-shell review of the workings of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which is one of the most versatile means of medical research and diagnostics available today. The presentation will then proceed to current advances in MRI technology and methods, including the transition to very high baseline fields, magnetic field monitoring, algebraic image reconstruction, and motion correction. Particular emphasis will be placed on NMR field probes, which permit high-speed magnetic field sensing down to the picotesla range and underlie several of the key ongoing developments.
