Lauterbur concluded that the technique was insufficiently informative for locating and diagnosing tumors and went on to devise a practical way to use NMR to make images.
Lauterbur's groundbreaking idea was to superimpose on the spatially uniform static magnetic field a second weaker magnetic field that varied with position in a controlled fashion, creating what is know as a magnetic field gradient.
Meanwhile, Lauterbur's results, published in 1973, included an image of his test sample: a pair of small glass tubes immersed in a vial of water.
