magnetic + resonance + imaging
The phrase is compositionally built: it denotes an imaging method that uses magnetic resonance — each constituent ('magnetic', 'resonance', 'imaging') directly contributes to that meaning. Although technical, the construction is transparent and widely calqued across languages (e.g. Spanish 'resonancia magnética', French 'imagerie par résonance magnétique'), so a learner who knows the parts can infer the overall sense.
Etymology
The term magnetic resonance imaging comes from how the scan works: strong magnetic fields line up tiny parts of the body, a radio pulse makes them resonate, which is the resonance part, and the machine makes an image, a detailed 'picture' of organs from those signals. So the name literally describes making a 'picture' from magnetic resonance.
