No amount of money given to medical researchers would have fueled the discovery of the machine’s foundational principles. That’s because the MRI is based on laws of physics, discovered by a physicist-stargazer, who had no interest in medicine. The same is true for a hospital’s entire radiology department (including X-rays, CT scans, and PET scans), EEGs, EKGs, oximeters, and ultrasound. You name it.
