All resonance system has basis on Teslas dicovery in the field of current and inventions. He was the first to take a x ray picture but somebody had a patent for a similar invention and he never intent to take take the patent away.

It stands for Tesla Hope this helps :D
Stand for Tev-Energy superconducting linear accelerator It is the basic unit for measuring magentic power of MRI

Tesla devised the alternating current system that we use in our homes today. As a young man he was fascinated with Niagara Falls. In his mind he saw a vision of a giant wheel with the water spilling over it. Thirty years later in America his ideas were carried out in the harnessing of the power of Niagara Falls. Telsa was a man ahead of his time proposing wireless communication years before it was developed. He imagined a time when "an inexpensive receiver, not bigger than a watch, will enable (people) to listen anywhere, on land or sea, to a speech delivered or music played in some other place, however distant". He foresaw the development of guided missiles and weapons of mass destruction. Rotating Magnetic Field Magnetic Resonance Imaging machines (MRI) work on this principal. He made the Tesla Coil. This Tesla invention produces powerful electrical fields. He was able to produce up to 100 million volts of electricity. His small remote controlled boat was the forerunner of the remote controlled satellites presently orbit the earth. Nikola Tesla made the first radio.
Yes, MRI studies are more enhanced today, thanks to the new technology that people keep on inventing. We can certainly see and identify more problems, if there are any, than when the MRI scan was first used and invented. :)
It is best to wait for the results of the MRI - they will then tell you what they have found.

The advantage is that they can be used for patients who are claustrophobic. The disadvantage is that the field strength of the magnets is lower (usually 0.2-0.5 Tesla) than with standard full-strength machines.
Gadolinium is the most commonly used MRI contrast agent used today. It is considered to be safe when administered properly and is capable of detecting tumors or blood vessel issues.
