As a Chem. E. by education, I KNO that the former is the actual
technology utilized (aka NMR) and as a stroke survivor who has
undergone umpteen scans of the cacophonous procedure, the latter has
always been used as the applied technology vis-a-vis nuclear medicine
(now THERE'S scary nomenclature if every I've heard any), that is the
application of magnetic resonance to the imaging discipline, the
"nuclear" tacitly implied.

Or am I being obvious?
