      There are MRI scanners in most of the big hospitals int he country now,I am proud to say. I did electronics and electrical engineering during my Mechanical engineering degree. I then did a Masters degree in Bio-mechanics, which is Medical Engineering, because I was interested in engineering products that help people. My mother walked around on gtwo artifical hips for over 20 years designed and made by a man called Charnley who started as an engineer, then did medicine and then became a surgeon to implant the hip joint he designed. What a career!
