    Device for measuring magnetic fields.  

  • Magnetism

    The property of repulsion and attraction of certain substances that have magnetic properties. A property possessed by iron, steel, and other magnetic materials, wherein these materials can produce magnetic lines of force capable of interacting with electrical fields or magnetic fields. The pull or push created by magnetic forces.  

  • Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography

    Visualization of the pancreatic and biliary ducts with magnetic resonance imaging. MRCP provides a noninvasive alternative to endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, especially if biopsies are not needed and direct visualization of the ampulla of Vater is not required.  

  • Magnetic lines of force

    The lines indicating the direction of the magnetic force in the space surrounding a magnet or constituting a magnetic field. The intensity of the magnetic field surrounding an energized magnet.  

  • Magnetic field homogeneity

    The uniformity of the main magnetic field in a magnetic resonance imaging device.  

  • Magnetic cortical stimulation

    The induction of painless electrical current within the brain to detect abnormalities in cortical motor neuron function.  

  • Magnetic activated cell sorting

    Technology used to separate unique populations of cells from an undifferentiated specimen of blood, bone marrow, or other tissue. It relies on the use of antibodies to specific cell types. A multicomponent specimen that contains some desirable cells is bathed in a solution of magnetically tagged antibodies. The cells of interest are attracted into a…
