Magnetism in medicine has had a long and interesting history. In the 10th century AD, Egyptian physician and philosopher Avicenna prescribed a grain of magnetite dissolved in milk for the accidental swallowing of rust, reasoning that magnetite would render the poisonous iron inert by attracting it and accelerating its excretion through the intestine. 1 A thousand years later, on July 3, 1977,“Indomitable”, the little machine that could, labored for 5 h to produce one image, an event that used magnetism to change the landscape of modern medicine. 2 Looking at the homemade superconducting magnet constructed from 30 miles of niobium-titanium wire that now resides in its rightful place at the Smithsonian Institution, it is incredible to comprehend how in a mere 30 years magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has gone from its crude, almost ugly, human scan to where physicians can now regularly order MRIs off their menu of diagnostic tools because of its exquisite anatomical resolution, routinely down to 0.5-1 mm. When the field was first reviewed in this journal in 1987, 3 only 39 papers were found in Medline with the keywords “gado-” and “MRI”. 4 Today, this same search on PubMed pulls out over 250,000 records, of which a significant component has been development of MR contrast agents. The human body is essentially a supersized water bottle, with about two-thirds of its weight consisting of water. Water’s hydrogen atoms are able to act as microscopic compass
