MRI machines typically are large and take up a lot of space, which makes them not so practical if they ever needed to be used in remote areas like in the battlefield or even in space. But scientists are working to reduce these size of these machines to where they could fit in the palm of your hand, and they may one day test them on board the International Space Station. NASA's Josh Byerly talks with the scientists behind this technology.
