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. :)

Where in new-england I can study M.R.I.
The technologist. A radiologist reads the study later.
You go for CAT scan for study of bones and you go for MRI for study of organs.
There are many such things such as an Mri Technicians license, in order to acquire one you must first study in a college or university then take a mri course to become certified.

A MRI technologist needs to complete an associate degree of some sort in radiological technology or something of the same field. In addition this will follow up in a two year study in a MRI technology certificated program.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a test that uses a magnetic field and pulses of radio wave energy to make pictures of organs and structures inside the body. In many cases MRI gives different information about structures in the body than can be seen with an X-ray, ultrasound, or computed tomography (CT) scan. MRI also may show problems that cannot be seen with other imaging methods. For an MRI test, the area of the body being studied is placed inside a special machine that contains a strong magnet. Pictures from an MRI scan are digital images that can be saved and stored on a computer for more study. The images also can be reviewed remotely, such as in a clinic or an operating room. In some cases, contrast material may be used during the MRI scan to show certain structures more clearly. Mostly diploma and degree courses are available in MRI technology which you can do to become a MRI technician.
You would have to attend a radiology school, to see which schools offer mri technician training. along with which radiology degree you would like. cost would vary between schools as some are more expensive then others but offer the same training .
In my opinion anyone can get a mri tech position, as long as they do not have a felony. To learn more about being a mri tech, contact some medical schools and most of the courses will take no more than 8-10 months.
MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is not a direct product of the space program, but advancements in technology initially developed for space exploration contributed to its development. The principles of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), which underlie MRI, were discovered in the 1940s, and the technology was further refined in the following decades. Some innovations in electronics and imaging techniques that were enhanced during the space program did help improve medical imaging technologies, including MRI.
