4/97-- Purdue researchers George Graber, Kirk Foster, Joe Bourland and Bill Schoenlein (left to right) use a specially designed amplifier and magnetic coil system to gather information on the physiological effects of gradient magnetic fields used in Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Student volunteer Bill Havel, lower right, describes physical sensations experienced while undergoing a series of pulses. The study aims to provide data that will allow manufacturers to boost the power of their systems without causing uncomfortable sensations in patients.
