MRI of a Portobello mushroom
I teach fellows how to perform MR Imaging (MRI). A great way to teach people is to have our trainees perform an actual scan. Normally MRI is used on people to diagnose a variety of conditions from cancer to knee injuries - MRI uses magnetic fields and radio frequency energy to look inside the body with high resolution. It is an essential tool in modern medical care. During our training sessions we scan fruits and vegetables - in order to practice skills that will later be applied to diagnosing disease in our patients. I colorize the images using Photoshop and a variety of filters. This is a mushroom.
