4 decades? That would mean 1980. I think you are showing your age.

The first commercial MRI machine was manufactured in 1980, so I guess it missed the "four decades" mark by a few months, but the first installation of a routine clinical machine (as distinct from laboratory lashups) in the UK was in 1984, which made the cut in my book.
