MRI with much weaker magnets built

MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) is an important diagnostic approach to get high quality images from inner organs. They involve strong magnetic fields and a narrow tube in which patients are positioned. Now with improved algorithms images of comparable quality can be produced with much weaker magnets, thereby reducing the size of the device and the amount of helium needed to build the machine, giving more space to patients in the tube.
