2 History of Magnetic Resonance Imaging

3 Nuclear Magnetic Resonance NMR was first described in 1946 by: BLOCH,, Hansen, and Packard at Stanford University and independently by PURCELL,, Torrey, and Pound at Harvard University

4 BLOCH and PURCELL shared the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1952

5 Lauterbur and Mansfield shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2003

6 Paul Lauterbur (born 1929), Urbana, Illinois, USA, discovered the possibility to create a two-dimensional picture by introducing gradients in the magnetic field. By analysis of the characteristics of the emitted radio waves, he could determine their origin. This made it possible to build up two-dimensional pictures of structures that could not be visualized with other methods.

7 Peter Mansfield (born 1933), Nottingham, England, Further developed the utilization of gradients in the magnetic field. He showed how the signals could be mathematically analyzed, which made it possible to develop a useful imaging technique. Mansfield also showed how extremely fast imaging could be achievable. This became technically possible within medicine a decade later.

8 Lauterbur, while at SUNY at Stonybrook in 1973, developed a technique that coupled the resonant NMR field with a magnetic field gradient to produce a two-dimensional image--zeugmatography ( join together magnetic fields to produce a picture). This technique is now used for 2D and 3D MRI.

9 Lauterbur and Damadian are given credit for the birth of Magnetic Resonance Imaging in 1973

10 The medical doctor who claims to have discovered the signals emitted by tissues which led to the development of the MRI is blasting the Nobel Committee for its refusal to recognize his achievement. In an full page advertisement published Monday in the New York Times, Dr. Raymond Damadian said he was the creator of the first MRI standing for magnetic resonance imaging which he also notes is "emphatically an MD's invention."

11 Damadian said the Nobel committee has a highly politicized selection process, one that also favors Doctors of Philosophy and other scientists over Doctors of Medicine. Damadian said in his advertisement that in 1970 he first discovered that cancerous and normal tissues offer different signals for imaging purposes. Damadian said that on July 3, 1977, he conducted the first human scan using an MRI.

12 "Although the two PhD's who have been named for the prize one a chemist and the other a physicist made later contributions to MRI technology, as have many others since then, there is no way, outside of outright deception, to ascribe primary credit for the invention of the MRI to two scientists who merely imagined improved ways to display the image of the signals I discovered," Damadian wrote in his ad.

13 "He said he developed the first medical uses for MRIs, proposed the first body scanner, discovered the tissue signals picked up by MRIs, built the first MRI with his students, then "used the scanner to obtain the first MRI picture of patients with cancer." "By contrast," he continued, the committee "has decided to honor for 'discoveries concerning the invention of the MRI' the PhD's Paul Lauterbur and Peter Mansfield, along with literally thousands of other research scientists had been working with NMR machines for 25 years ( ) without one of them ever asking himself if NMR might have a medical application." "I believe it is outrageously unjust that the Nobel should decide to exclude from its award the MD genesis of MRI," he added.

14 Damadian, while at Downstate Medical Center (NY,NY), developed FONAR (field focusing nuclear magnetic resonance). The FONAR technique could acquire data from one voxel. The voxel location could be manipulated to build up an image.

15

16 Damadian received a patent for Apparatus and Method for Detecting Cancer in Tissue in 1974

17 Nuclear Induction Apparatus & Display Illustration included in Damadian s patent application in 1974.

18 Illustration included in Damadian s patent application in 1974.

19 The first image of a live animal was acquired in 1976, and the first image of the human thorax in 1977.

20 March, The first attempt to take a human NMR scan. Dr. Raymond Damadian was the first patient. Because of the uncertainty of the outcome, he wore a cardiac monitor and a blood pressure cuff.

21 July, The first successful human body NMR scan with Dr. Lawrence Minkoff as the volunteer.

22 The first human NMR scan

23 One of Damadian s early scanners resides at the Smithsonian.

24 The Indomitable, the NMR scanner used for the world s first human body NMR scan.

25 Damadian founded FONAR Corporation to market MRI systems.
