GeoByte1:In 1991 Richard Ernst received the Nobel Prize for chemistry for his technological breakthroughs leading to the development of the modern MRI.
GeoByte2:Before the MRI, doctors often did exploratory surgery to look for internal problems that didn't show up on X-rays.
GeoByte3:Unlike X-ray medical testing, MRI does not expose the patient to radiation.
GeoByte4:MRI is often used to detect tumors and respiratory diseases.
GeoByte5:People with metal implants such as pacemakers should not be examined with MRI because the body is exposed to a powerful magnetic field.
GeoByte6:MRI provides a cross-sectional view of part of the patient's body.
