James Hutchison
On 28 August 1980, following years of research, the team made history when their revolutionary machine produced the first clinically-useful MRI image of a patient’s internal organs. MRI is considered to be a safer tool for diagnostics than X-rays and builds up a picture of the human body through high frequency radio signals. Although initially built as an experimental machine, Mark 1 was used immediately at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary for diagnosis and research. John and his team’s technology transformed medical diagnosis across the world.
