• HypotoniaRelated: Brain or spinal imaging may be used when findings suggest a central nervous system cause.

• Intracranial hemorrhageRelated: MRI can clarify the age, extent, or cause of hemorrhage when CT is insufficient.

• Larmor precessionBroader topic: MRI spatially encodes the precession frequencies of hydrogen nuclei.

• LeukodystrophyRelated: Brain MRI patterns can identify white-matter abnormalities and help narrow the diagnosis.

• Locked-in syndromeRelated: MRI can reveal the brainstem lesion responsible for the paralysis.

• Magnetic resonance angiographyNarrower topic: MRA adapts MRI acquisition and signal processing to emphasize vessels.

• MicrocephalyRelated: Brain imaging can clarify structural abnormalities when microcephaly is identified.

• NeurocysticercosisRelated: It can reveal ventricular, subarachnoid, and parenchymal cysts that may be difficult to characterize otherwise.

• Rare-earth magnetRelated: Rare-earth permanent magnets are used in some compact, low-field MRI systems.

• Seminal vesicleRelated: Pelvic MRI can clarify seminal vesicle anatomy and suspected abnormalities.

• Uterine fibroidRelated: MRI can map fibroid number and position when treatment planning needs greater detail.

• BiophysicsRelated: It applies nuclear magnetic resonance principles to map biological tissues noninvasively.

• Cancer surveillanceRelated: MRI can examine high-risk organs without ionizing radiation, including during breast surveillance.

• Drug-Resistant EpilepsyRelated: Brain MRI can reveal lesions that explain seizures and may be surgically treatable.

• Frontotemporal dementiaRelated: MRI can reveal patterns of frontal and temporal atrophy that support diagnosis.

• GlioblastomaRelated: MRI is central to detecting and monitoring brain tumors, though imaging alone cannot confirm glioblastoma.

• High-resolution computed tomographyCompared with: MRI avoids X-rays, but HRCT generally depicts fine aerated-lung structure more effectively.

• Optic neuritisRelated: Orbital and brain MRI can show optic-nerve enhancement and associated brain lesions.

• Polycystic kidney diseaseRelated: Kidney volume on MRI helps assess disease burden and progression.

• Single-photon emission computed tomographyCompared with: MRI provides strong soft-tissue anatomy without radioactive tracers, unlike SPECT.

• Type-II superconductorRelated: Its high-field scanners commonly rely on superconducting magnets made with type-II wire.

• Wernicke encephalopathyRelated: MRI can reveal symmetric signal abnormalities, but a normal scan does not exclude the disorder.

• AdenomyosisRelated: It can help characterize uterine changes when ultrasound findings are unclear.

• Avascular necrosisRelated: MRI can detect early marrow changes before plain radiographs show clear damage.

• Liquid heliumRelated: Many MRI scanners use helium to cool superconducting magnet coils.

• Medical physicsBroader topic: Its scanner design and signal formation rely on electromagnetic physics.

• Near-infrared spectroscopyCompared with: MRI offers deeper anatomical imaging, while NIRS is portable but samples tissue near the surface.

• NeodymiumRelated: Neodymium magnets appear in some specialized MRI systems, though superconducting magnets dominate clinical scanners.

• Progressive supranuclear palsyRelated: Brain MRI can reveal midbrain atrophy and help assess alternative explanations for symptoms.

• SuperconductorRelated: Superconducting magnets provide the stable, intense fields used in many MRI scanners.

• Anal cancerRelated: Pelvic MRI helps assess the local extent of anal tumors.
