      I think should be called nuclear magnetic resonance imaging.. but no one likes the word nuclear.

      Magnetic resonance imaging! It used to be called NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) but they dropped the nuclear bit as people were particularly afraid of it at the time.
      [Sorry just seen @Pauline has put the same too!]
