Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the physical principles of nuclear magnetic resonance, discovered in the 1930s and 1940s by physicists Isidor Rabi, Felix Bloch, and Edward Purcell. The terminology evolved in the late 1970s and early 1980s when the technique was adapted for medical diagnostic imaging, dropping the word 'nuclear' to avoid public anxiety associated with radioactivity.
