At the very beginning of my journey into the field of NMR/MRI, I learnt about something exciting: MRI systems can be programmed to produce music. Last week I realised that, with an MRI system sitting on my bench and a pulse sequence program open on my PC, there was actually nothing stopping me from turning my own imaging system into a whimsical musical instrument.

Help! I put a cool sample into my ilumr MRI system and hit run on one of the dashboards, but the image isn't looking as amazing as I had hoped. Where do I go from here? How do I improve my MR image?

With its short RF pulse lengths and fast recovery time, ilumr is a great tool for relaxometry.

We've been working on an ilumr software update this month and are excited to share it with you!

Last month we grabbed our ilumr desktop MRI machine and headed to a primary school to talk about the wonderful world of medical imaging.
