Question

How does cryogenics help in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)?

Answer 1

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a medical imaging technique used to image the anatomy of the body using magnetic fields. This magnetic field is generated by superconducting coils with the help of liquid helium. Liquid helium allows for the lowest attainable temperature to be reached. It can reduce the temperature of the coil to 4 K. At this low temperature, very high-resolution images can be obtained.
