Abstract
A magnetic-resonance imaging system including a magnetic-resonance sensor including at least one magneto-resistive element; and a sample disposed adjacent to the magnetic-resonance sensor and configurable to generate a magnetic-resonance signal, wherein the magneto-resistive element is configured to generate a magnetic field in response to a current driven through the magneto-resistive element, the magnetic field being configured to polarize spins of the sample, and detect a magnetic-resonance signal from precession of the spins.
