    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of producing metal nanoparticles and metal sulfide nanoparticles using a recombinant microorganism co-expressing metallothionein and phytochelatin synthase, which are heavy metal-adsorbing proteins, and to the use of metal nanoparticles and metal sulfide nanoparticles synthesized by the method. The present invention provides a method for synthesizing metal nanoparticles which have been difficult to synthesize by conventional biological methods. The present invention makes it possible to synthesize metal nanoparticles in an environmentally friendly and cost-effective manner, and also makes it possible to synthesize metal sulfide nanoparticles. In addition, even metal nanoparticles which could have been produced by conventional chemical or biological methods are produced in a significantly increased yield by use of the method of the present invention.

    Abstract: Provided is a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) apparatus for generating an MR image based on a steady state free procession (SSFP) sequence. The MRI apparatus includes: a radio frequency (RF) controller configured to apply to an object a first RF pulse corresponding to a first slice and a second RF pulse corresponding to a second slice; a gradient magnetic field controller configured to control respective gradient magnetic fields in a first direction corresponding to the first and second RF pulses, from among spatial encoding gradients, to have opposite polarities with respect to each other; a data acquisition unit configured to acquire first and second MR signals corresponding to the first and second slices; and an image processor configured to generate first and second MR images corresponding to the first and second slices, respectively, based on the acquired first and second MR signals.
