Thankfully, long ago, scientists figured out a way to see inside your body without going inside.

An X-ray shoots radiation in the form of electromagnetic waves at your body. These waves interact nearly instantaneously with the structures within your body. 

What you see on the screen or film is a depiction of the absorption rates. Your bones absorb more radiation than your skin, fat, and muscle, for instance, so your bones appear white while your tissues are gray. 

Since air doesn’t absorb anything at all, your lungs look black.

MRIs, on the other hand, can give a clear depiction of soft tissues. The technology is much more advanced. An MRI uses strong magnets to create electromagnetic fields. This stimulates the protons within your body. 

While this happens, radio waves are directed at the body to change the spin of these protons. Once fields return to normal, the MRI machine is able to create an image. Because protons in different tissues return to their normal spin at different rates, it’s able to make a detailed picture of the tissues within your body.

To create a 3D image, this is done a considerable amount of times. After all, an MRI often lasts up to an hour.

A much simpler way to think of it is like a fish finder. Obviously, the fish finder doesn’t use the same technology, but it uses the timing from radio waves to show the bottom of the lake and where the fish are located.

Now, there are different versions of MRIs, but they work more or less the same, and this is just a quick overview of how they work. It’s important to understand so you can see the difference between an MRI and a body-field scan isn’t as different as you might think.

How the NES Scanner Can See Your Body-Field

The only interaction between you and the NES scanner is the pad of your finger and a small depression in the scanner. It’s different from MRIs and x-rays in the sense that both of those machines have to “see” the entirety of the body part they’re scanning.

Your body creates its own electromagnetic fields, though, they’re much smaller than the ones an MRI requires.

What the NES scan does is look at these fields -- fields that we call your body-fields.

We accomplish this by sending an out-wave through a generator in the software of the scanner. This out-wave, similar to how an MRI interacts with the protons within your tissues, returns an in-wave from your body-fields. 

Over decades and a lot of trial and error, we’ve been able to establish what normal body-fields look like. Our software then reads this information from the returning wave and compares it to existing data within the software. In this way, we’re able to detect energy blockages in your body-fields.

Of course, many, many out-waves are required to see the entirety of all your body’s fields.
