  1. Magnetic Resonance Imaging and chemistry are related by virtue of the electrons around atoms.  In chemistry, the quantity of electrons in the outermost 'layer' of an atom determine much of its chemical properties.  In MRI, these same electrons emit radio signals when they are impacted by magnetic impulses from the MRI machine.  Different elements have different radio 'signatures' in resonance response to those impulses.

    -Edit-

    Therefore MRI 'radio signatures' of chemicals in your body are related to the chemistry of those elements by way of the electrons that give rise to both.
