3T MRI
3T MRI
3T MRI (Three Tesla Magnetic Resonance Imaging), pronounced as /θriː ˈtɛslə ˌmæɡ.nɪtɪk rɪˈzɒn.əns ˈɪm.ɪdʒ.ɪŋ/, is a type of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) that uses a 3 Tesla magnetic field strength. The term "Tesla" is a unit of measurement for the strength of a magnetic field. In the context of an MRI, the higher the Tesla number, the stronger the magnetic field that the machine can create. This can often lead to higher resolution images, which can be beneficial in visualizing fine details of the body, particularly in the brain.
Etymology
The term "3T MRI" is derived from the strength of the magnetic field used in this type of MRI. The "3T" stands for "Three Tesla", which refers to the strength of the magnetic field. The term "Tesla" is named after Nikola Tesla, a Serbian-American inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, and physicist who is best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current (AC) electricity supply system.
