Extract
The first successful demonstration of the phenomenon of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), or nuclear induction in solids and liquids, was published almost simultaneously in 1946 by Bloch, Hansen, and Packard (7) working at Stanford University and Purcell, Torrey, and Pound (75) working at Harvard University. The immediate impact of their work was in physics and chemistry, but the applications have steadily widened and recently the application of NMR in medicine has become very exciting.
