Abstract
The discovery and development of magnetic resonance imaging is one of the most spectacular and successful events in the history of medical imaging. However, there is a time gap of almost thirty years between the discovery of nuclear magnetic resonance simultaneously and independently by Bloch [1] and by Purcell [2] in 1946 and the first imaging experiments in the 1970s by Lauterbur and by Damadian.
