Funded Activity Summary

Improved patient care and image resolution in magnetic resonance imaging. A better understanding of the vibration within MRIs would result in techniques to both improve the image resolution and lower the noise emissions. Direct improvement of health care for Australians will result. Both the patient and the working environment around these scanners will improve as well as image resolution. Presently imaging is possible at the cellular scale, but only through improved MRI stability will imaging reach the molecular level. Medical research that is linked to MRI imaging can be expected to advance in step with improved image resolution. The resulting knowledge could also be used in other research and industrial areas, including micro- and nano-scale devices, where vibration is a critical performance limiting factor.
