viz your “MRI stands for ‘Magnetic Resonance Imaging’.
It was once known as NMR which stands for ‘Nuclear Magnetic Resonance’.
But the word ‘nuclear’ in medicine was deemed distracting and not fitting for the art of medicine. So the invention was changed from NMR to MRI.”
Inventions get patented usually. The “invention” wasn`t changed; the product NAME was. It was like changing the name of your horse in mid-stream. Or, similar to calling the Ford Mustang a “Mustang” for ten years; then all of a sudden Ford renames it the “Morgan.” It`s called false advertising. Same product by 2 different names coz they didn`t like the one they used for ten years. It`s called Bullsht.— Coz people were afraid of NUCLEAR RADIATION, which it ain`t. It had nothing whatsoever to do with the art of medicine- Au contraire, it had much to do about NEGATIVE PUBLIC PERCEPTIONS OF PRODUCT BRAND NAME ASSOCIATIONS and loss OF SALES$$$$$ THEREOF> PERIOD>
I knew that. I knew it was political correctness. I chose to use the wording I did because I felt it wasn’t worth bogging thread down with distractions of PC.
My aim was simply to inform of another acronym.
I never expected someone like yourself to start lecturing about such trivialities.
Reminds me of when iwas having house built. I had a meet with the GC on site. He told me the framers were putting in a ‘pony wall’
