MRIs Are Insane

- Do you know how an MRI works? It’s CRAZY. It’s not like an x-ray at all. An x-ray is a “shadow picture” - like a hand in front of a flashlight, but for your bones. But an MRI is a “water map” made by radio emissions FROM YOUR BODY…
I interviewed one of the inventors of the modern MRI, and here’s how he explained it.

The concept was discovered by astrophysicists. Don't ever let anyone convince you that pure science is a waste of money.
I had an MRI a few years ago. While the tech was setting everything up, I was asking questions about its operation, and they were explaining everything to me. I have a background in the medical field, and am a bit of a tech geek, and still couldn't help but feel the machine had a hint of magic stored in it somewhere. I understand, in theory, how it works, but that humans thought up and built something like it seems almost implausible.
I had an MRI recently when I had a tumour growing in the side of my neck towards the side of my face. I requested the imagery and the hospital supplied the slices plus a cool Java viewer to scrub through them. It's crazy being able to look through your own head and see your brain, bone structure, eyes, muscles etc. As an engineer I found it utterly fascinating.
Also the fact that MRI does not expose you to high degree of radiation like X ray or CT Scan is a big W
Video in a nutshell: Natalie Portman talks about MRIs
The MRI that scanned our head looks absolutely horrific for common people, but that's the reality. Plus, I was also shocked when I saw those eyeballs, LOL... 😂😂😂
The only downside to MRI is that it's expensive, takes almost half an hour to perform and it's scary for claustrophobic people.
Diagnosed with MS at 21, I literally depend on MRI’s to monitor my brain health. Im thankful to be alive while this medical technology exists!
Indian 10th graders already know about this kind of magnetic effect😂😂 not basically everyone but those who studied hard (I'm talking about CBSE)
I recall when MRI machines started showing up in hospitals, I’m old! Saved my life, twice.
I love how enthusiastic and excited she is about all of what she’s talking about! She seems genuinely interested and I’m also learning so much!
I had an mri back in 2017 and spent a good chunk of time asking the tech questions about how it worked. Really fascinating stuff
Mri found my brain aneurysm early enough to control it without surgery
I'm a biomedical engineer student and when I first heard about the MRI machine I was instantly sold on what I wanted to do in the future. My professor explained that it might be the most difficult thing humans have ever achieved.
In my organic chemistry courses we've used NMR (MRI without the imaging, just graphs) for identifying so many different molecules it's insane. I'll admit it's a pain to interpret but it will tell you exactly what is in a molecule and at how it's all connected. Tells you the location of individual atoms relative to others in the compound, it's insane. And it isn't just for water, it can be applied to any atom, normal isotope or not, that has an odd number of protons if I remember correctly. There's carbon NMR, chlorine NMR, hydrogen NMR, etc. It's incredible.
Are MRIs harmful in any kind of way?
That's why I get panic attack in mri machine
As a science student ,The passion in this clip for science is just what's needed to follow your content forever
too bad insurance providers will do everything in their power to justify denying approval of a doctors MRI order....they always want you to get a cheaper (and more risky) ct scan first
Wow!!! Never knew an MRI worked like this! Thank you, Cleo!!! I literally learn something new from you every day!!! Thank you!
