MRI: Flexible Adjustment of Measuring Probes and Diaphragms
Magnetic resonance tomography is one field of application in medical technology where images are recorded without the use of optical methods.
The drives which move the sensing probes to match the coils, the samples or the diaphragms must operate in strong magnetic fields of up to several tesla. Piezo drives are the only drives which are not influenced by strong magnetic fields; nor do piezo drives create magnetic fields which could become a source of interference.
Since the drives can also operate in a vacuum and at extremely low temperatures, they can be located directly inside the tomograph without further ado.
