Abstract
The origin of many of the eponymous terms in modern medicine is unknown to many people who utter them daily. As a contribution to understanding the hi storical background of MRI, we provide a brief account of the life and work of Joseph Larmor, the Irish scientist, whose name is frequently used by ch emists, physicists and radiologists alike.
