What's the name of the nuclear magnetic resonance equipment?
MRI is also magnetic resonance imaging, and the English full name is: magnetic resonance imaging. At the beginning of this technology, it was called magnetic resonance imaging. By the early 1980s, as a new medical technology, the term magnetic resonance imaging became more and more familiar to the public. With the installation of large magnets, some people began to worry that the letter "N" might have a negative impact on the development of magnetic resonance imaging. In addition, the word "nuclear" easily reminds hospital staff of the magnetic vibration room of another nuclear medicine department. Therefore, in order to highlight the advantage of this inspection technology that it does not produce ionizing radiation, and to distinguish it from nuclear medicine that uses radioactive elements, radiologists and equipment manufacturers agree to call "magnetic resonance imaging" simply "magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)".
