Image Formation by Induced Local Interactions - Examples Employing Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, Nature, 242, 190 (1973).

Professor Lauterbur's research included the discovery of many seminal applications of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance. Among them were the first detection of 13C resonances at natural abundance and the detection of 29Si resonances. He is best know for the invention of Magnetic Resonance Imaging for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology of Medicine in 2003.
