• Arteriovenous malformationRelated: MRI can show an AVM and reveal associated brain injury or prior bleeding.

• Edward Mills PurcellBroader topic: MRI is a major medical application of the nuclear resonance phenomenon Purcell helped uncover.

• Godfrey HounsfieldCompared with: MRI later offered a different imaging method, especially useful for soft tissue contrast.

• Leigh syndromeRelated: MRI can reveal characteristic bilateral lesions in deep gray matter or brainstem.

• Peter MansfieldNarrower topic: Mansfield’s signal-processing and rapid-imaging methods helped establish MRI as a practical diagnostic tool.

• ProlactinomaRelated: Pituitary MRI locates the tumor and measures its size and relationship to nearby structures.

• Raymond DamadianRelated: Damadian’s scanner was an early system built to produce images of the human body using magnetic resonance.

• Strain (injury)Related: MRI can show the location and extent of significant muscle or tendon damage.

• ThuliumRelated: Thulium compounds have been studied as contrast agents for MRI.

• WeberRelated: MRI systems characterize magnetic fields and flux in their coils and magnets.
