The Story of MRI
Dr Raymond Damadian
Can real scientists believe in biblical creation?
A former atheist, Dr. Raymond Damadian is the “father of the MRI” (Magnetic Resonance Imaging). MRI is widely recognized as “one of the great medical breakthroughs of the 20th century”. (See Video Below)
MRIs are able to detect diseased tissue or injury more accurately,
safely, and efficiently than any other medical imaging technique.
Over one billion MRI scans have been completed since its
invention, with over 60 million additional scans each year.
While studying violin at the world-famous Juilliard School of Music
at the age of 15, Damadian competed with nearly 100,000 applicants and won a Ford Foundation Scholarship. This enabled him to complete a mathematics degree at the University of Wisconsin. He then earned his medical degree at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and later did graduate work in biophysics at Harvard.
Damadian then became a professor at the State University of New York Downstate Medical Center, where he taught until he founded a company to manufacture MRI scanners. He also published widely in peer-reviewed scientific literature, including a highly cited cover article on MRI in the leading journal Science, wherein he laid the foundations for making MRI scans possible.
A notable achievement is being inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 1989. The first MRI scanner ever built, by Damadian himself, was placed in the Smithsonian Institution that same year.
