"Magnetic Moments'" is the first publication to tell not only the story of its author and his contribution to the development of MRI, but also the intrigue and inside story of the competition, jealousy, and sometimes collaboration between competing research teams in the UK and the US. Follow the trail of discovery, beginning with an empty room and ending up with complex, multi-function racks of electronics and magnet systems, that have led to a revolution in medical diagnosis. The development of MRI is an explorer's journey like no other; swiftly moving from crude experiments on samples a few millimeters in size to the creation of huge high-powered machines that can probe the inner workings of the human body, combining technologies and science from diverse branches of physics, chemistry and engineering. Come on this unbelievable journey.
