- Abstract
John E. Tanner, Jr. passed away at the age of 93 in August 2023. He was known for his curiosity, ingenuity, and commitment to the greater good. Throughout his life, he pursued various interests and accomplishments, including a career in the sciences, outdoor activities, community service, and political activism. Tanner made significant contributions to the field of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), particularly in the development of the pulsed-gradient spin echo (PGSE) sequence, which later became the foundation for diffusion MRI. He also explored the concept of diffusion with permeable barriers and estimated cell size and membrane permeability. Tanner received numerous honors and awards for his work, and he remained connected to the diffusion MRI community until his passing. He is survived by his three children and four grandchildren.
