ABSTRACT
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is built on the same physical
principle as Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), which was first de-
scribed by Dr. Isidor Rabi in 1938 and for which he was awarded the
Nobel Prize in Physics in 1944. In 1952, Felix Bloch and Edward Pur-
cell won the Nobel Prize in Physics for demonstrating the use of NMR
technique in various materials.
