Paul Lauterbur won a share of the 2003 Nobel in Medicine for developing this technology. In many cases, it can show the arterial system without a contrast injection. The radio waves, while harmless, collide with hydrogen nuclei in water and lipids, producing electrical energy from a magnetic coil and allowing a computer to produce a map of tissue. For 10 points, give the name for this process of using alignment of magnetic moments to produce pictures.
