Imperial technoscience : transnational histories of MRI in the United States, Britain, and India /Amit Prasad - Cambridge, Massachusetts : The MIT Press , 2014 - xi, 219 pages ;24 cm.
Machine generated contents note: 1. "Invention" of MRI: Priority Dispute, Contested Identities, and Authorship Regime --
2. Translating a Dream into Reality: Birth of MRI and Genesis of a "Big Science" --
3. Marketing Medicine's "Sports Car": The United States Becomes the "Center" --
4. Recovering "Peripheral" History: Genealogy of MRI Research in India --
5. Three Cultures of MRI: Local Practices and Global Designs.
The origin of modern science is often located in Europe and the West. This Euro/West-centrism relegates emergent practices elsewhere to the periphery, undergirding analyses of contemporary transnational science and technology with traditional but now untenable hierarchical categories. In this book, Amit Prasad examines features of transnationality in science and technology through a study of magnetic resonance imaging research and development in the United States, Britain, and India
