Magnetic resonance imaging: Referred to as magnetic resonance tomography (MRT) or, in chemistry nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), is a non-invasive method used to render images of the inside of an object. The scanners used in medicine cost approximately US$ 1 million per tesla (T) and have a typical field strength of 0.3 to 3 T, with several hundred thousand dollars paid per year just for maintenance. |
