Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a tomographic imaging technique based on the well-known nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) phenomenon first observed in bulk materials independently by Edward Purcell's group at Harvard [1] and Felix Bloch's group at Stanford in 1946 [2]. The fundamental MRI concept was proposed by Paul Lauterbur in 1972 [3]. Since then, MRI has developed into a premier tool for biomedical imaging [4].
