Magnetic Resonance Imaging

• On July 3, 1977 Dr. Raymond Damadian and two
  other Doctors worked tirelessly for seven long
  years to complete the construction of the first
  whole-body MRI scan. Damadian discovered that
  cancerous tissue emits response signals that last
  much longer than non cancerous tissue. The MRI
  scanner is still currently used as a tool for
  medical diagnosis. Today there are thousands of
  MRI scanners that function much more efficiently.
