Product Description

▼▲

MRIs save thousands of lives throughout the world. Yet in 1969, this kind of technique was just an idea in the visionary mind of Dr. Raymond Damadian. Although his ideas on detecting tumors through magnetic resonance imaging were widely met with skepticism, he became the first researcher to do a full-body scan of a human being in 1977. Discover how his concept was inspired and developed; why faith became an integral part of his work; and why he is a strong supporter of the creativity and freedom found in patents.

240 pages, indexed, hardcover.

Publisher's Description

▼▲

As a young boy, he watched his grandmother die painfully from breast cancer. Dr. Damadian would eventually decide on a career in medical research and pioneer this field of amazing research. Although in 1971 his concept of detecting tumors through magnetic resonance imaging was widely met with skepticism, he became the first researcher to do a full-body scan of a human being in 1977 in order to see if there was cancel present.

From resourcefully creating his discoveries on a shoestring budget to a battle with the business behemoth known as G.E., learn how the exciting development of this technology led him to a self-examination of his life and faith. What driving force is at the heart of what can arguably be called one of the greatest minds in the past 50 years and how does faith play a crucial role in his work?
