The Physics of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)   

In 1971, Peter Lauterbur discovered a means to encode information using magnetic field gradients. This led to the development of what today we call Magnetic Resonance Imaging, which is widely used in our medical industry. But what is it? How does it work? How does it differ from a CT scan? It is a fascinating blend of the latest medical information with the atomic structure of our bodies. We will explore the structure of our cells and how we use that to diagnose medical issues. We'll also explore the pros, the cons and the cautions we should heed. The results are absolutely fascinating.
