MRI of Tissues with Short T2s or T2*s

Graeme M Bydder is professor of radiology specializing in magnetic resonance imaging. He has published articles on magnetic resonance techniques, clinical applications of magnetic resonance, image interpretation and related subjects. He is the main developer of UTE. Professor Ian Young, from Marlborough, who helped develop the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) technology,?has received the Sir Frank Whittle Medal. MRI uses special imaging techniques to take pictures of inside the body. Professor Young, 72, was one of two authors who published the first MRI-generated image of a head in 1978. He also built the world's first MRI machine to use a super-conducting magnet for imaging, an approach now in almost universal use.
