Abstract

Within this current scientific era, there is an increased demand for enhanced global health care delivery; whereas, cost escalation remains to be a significant problem to be tackled. The effective design and integration of superconducting magnetic technologies proved to obtain cost benefits along with long-term reliability to perform superior imaging capabilities and non-invasive diagnosis of heart and brain. This article aims to provide an overview of superconducting magnetic applications and its revolutionary role within the medical field. It begins with a brief history of the development of magnets and then follows a brief, striking review of numerous superconducting applications within the medical field.
