<strong>The</strong> Future <strong>of</strong> <strong>MRI</strong><br />

• Technology will gradually improve cost, claustrophobia,<br />

motion artifacts and image acquisition times.<br />

• Different RF pulse sequences will further enhance the<br />

weighting capabilities for <strong>T1</strong>,<strong>T2</strong> and proton density.<br />

• Computing power will enhance the detection and<br />

resolution <strong>of</strong> <strong>MRI</strong> signals = even better images.<br />

• Functional <strong>MRI</strong> (tumor <strong>vs</strong>. normal tissue).<br />
