When most people hear the word “nuclear,” the first thing that comes to mind is not so positive. Think Chernobyl. Think Fukushima Daiichi. But in the medical world, “nuclear” is a great thing. Nuclear medicine is a branch of medical imaging that uses small amounts of radioactive materials to diagnose and determine the severity a variety of diseases, including many cancers, heart disease, gastrointestinal, endocrine, neurological disorders and other abnormalities within the body. These procedures provide a wealth of valuable information that is not available through x-rays.

If you work in the world of health care and you haven’t seen what the current generation of 3D printers can do, you really need to. Conceived as early as 1980, 3D printing was originally seen by many as an overly complex and cost prohibitive novelty. Today, 3D printing is a thriving marketplace full of innovation and experimentation. Technological advancements in both the printers and the printing materials have helped make the creation process more affordable, more accessible and much faster.

An MRI consists of multiple coils of conductive wire. They are stacked or nested, and loop around the core of the coil.  Each wire serves a different purpose, but are usually a physically small antennae of sorts. They produce a uniform magnetic field without producing significant amounts of radiation.
