Schematic diagram of the MRI experiment. MRI is normally performed by using a high magnetic field to create a large nuclear spin polarization, followed by a radio frequency pulse sequence and field gradients to encode the image spatially, and Faraday inductive detection. In the experiment described by Xu et al. (5), detection is carried out by using an atomic magnetometer, and only a small magnet is necessary to polarize the sample.
