    Abstract: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) devices detect a magnetic field having a particular frequency induced by hydrogen nuclei included in a human body and convert the detected magnetic field into two- or three-dimensional images, thereby visualizing the internal structure of the human body without causing any harm to the human body. The higher the resolution of an MRI technique, the more accurate a diagnosis can be obtained. Thus, various methods are introduced to improve resolutions. For example, a wearable magnetic resonator and an application device including the wearable magnetic resonator are provided. The wearable magnetic resonator is flexible and used to improve MRI resolution by amplifying MR signals while being attached to a human body to amplify MR signals when MRI is performed.
