No, just a very powerful electromagnet, RF circuitry, and computers.

A laser may be used in the machine to help position the subject accurately, but it does not participate in the actual operation.

How is Nuclear Magnetic Resonance used in the medical field?

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance is often used in the Radiology modality of MRI, which stands for Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance is an alternative to radiation producing techniques such as the traditional Anode/Cathode X-ray tube. NMR is used to help to visualize patient anatomy and pathology without delivering the harmful effects of ionizing radiation used in other modalities.

What is resonance relating to nmri?

In the context of nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (NMRI), resonance refers to the absorption of radiofrequency energy by atomic nuclei in a magnetic field. When the applied radiofrequency matches the resonant frequency of the atomic nuclei, it causes them to resonate and emit signals that can be detected and used to create images of the internal structures of the body.
