| Abstract | MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scanners are used to scan the inside of the human body; mainly to observe tumours and other such objects hiding behind bones which cannot be easily observed through X-ray or CT scanners. MRI scanners use the phenomenon of nuclear magnetic resonance. In an MRI scanner, the human body is subjected to a very strong magnetic field and it is made to absorb and then radiate energy at the Larmor precession frequency of the hydrogen nuclei present in water. The intensity with which these radiations are emitted by the body are recorded by the MRI scanner which displays an image of the portion of the body under test on its monitor. The portions containing larger amount of water look darker on the screen as compared to those having little water. If different colours are assigned to different intensities, then a coloured picture can be obtained. Since water content in the bones and teeth etc. is very small, these parts of the body are nearly invisible and therefore it is very easy to see through the bones in the case of MRI scanners. This duality, along with a few others, makes MRI scanners very useful for medical science. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
