Dr. Lauterbur became interested in possible biological
applications of nuclear magnetic resonance after reading a paper
in 1971 by Raymond V. Damadian, who described how some
cancerous tissues responded differently to the magnetic fields than
normal tissue.
Until then, most scientists placed the samples in a uniform
magnetic field, and the radio signals emanated from the entire
sample. Dr. Lauterbur realized that if a non-uniform magnetic field
were used, then the radio signals would come from just one slice
of the sample, allowing a two-dimensional image to be created.
i.e. one particular frequency
The nuclear magnetic resonance machine at SUNY was shared
among the chemistry professors, and the other professors needed
to perform their measurements in a uniform magnetic field. Dr.
Lauterbur had to conduct his work at night, returning the machine
to its original settings each morning.

(and even IR!) out of business.
One Yale “natural products” organic professor, whose
research used chemical transformations to determine
molecular structures, abandoned organic chemistry
to take up fundamental research on quantum theory
(and later became a professional studio photographer).

Advantage of “similarity” of protons
(unlike IR where various modes have very different changes
in dipole moment, and thus very different signal strengths)

Benzene “Ring Current”
B0 can only drive circulation about
a path to which it is perpendicular.

If the ring rotates so that it is
no longer perpendicular to B0,
the ring current stops.
