'''Magnetic resonance imaging''' (MRI) is a procedure in which radio waves and a powerful [[magnet]] linked to a computer are used to create detailed pictures of areas inside the body. These pictures can show the difference between normal and diseased [[tissue]]. MRI makes better images of organs and soft tissue than other scanning techniques, such as [[computed tomography]] (CT) or [[x-ray]] without radiation. MRI is especially useful for imaging the [[brain]], the [[spine]], the soft tissue of joints, bones and organs. Other MRI systems include NMRI and fMRI.

*Paul Lauterbur, who received a [[Nobel Prize]] for inventing MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), had his first paper on that rejected by ''[[Nature (journal)|Nature]]''. [http://www.scientificexploration.org/journal/jse_20_3_bauer.pdf]
