MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is not a direct product of the space program, but advancements in technology initially developed for space exploration contributed to its development. The principles of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), which underlie MRI, were discovered in the 1940s, and the technology was further refined in the following decades. Some innovations in electronics and imaging techniques that were enhanced during the space program did help improve medical imaging technologies, including MRI.
