The development of these two modalities dates back several decades; currently, technical and clinical innovations continue at a rapid rate with remarkable results that enhance the diagnosis and management of a patient's medical problems. As an imaging technique, MRI offers the best contrast resolution compared to any other imaging modality and therefore it is effective in providing excellent anatomical and pathological details. Additionally, MRI is capable of functional imaging, a tool that is gaining widespread attention in medicine. The impact of these two imaging modalities has been so significant that the pioneers of both CT and MRI have received the Nobel Prize in Medicine or Physiology, for their contributions to these technologies. The author outlines the contributions of these pioneers to the evolution and application of CT and MRI to solving clinical problems in diagnostic medicine. (non-author abstract)Read More
