Controversy
• The New York Times twice, The Washington Post, The
Los Angeles Times and one of the largest newspapers
in Sweden, Dagens Nyheter
Raymond Damadian
• Born in NY 1936
– BS in Mathematics, U. of Wisconsin Madison
– MD in Einstein C. of Medicine. NY
• “Tumors can be distinguished by NMR”
– In Science 1971
• 1st patent in MRI field
• Established MRI company FONAR
– Royalty of 129 M$ against GE
• Many Prizes and honors
– Lemelson-MIT Prize
• "the man who invented the MRI scanner
– National Medal of Technology
– National Inventors Hall of Fame
1st Whole Body MRI Scanner
Exclusion of Damadian
• Damadian’s invention
– To locate cancer without producing an image.
– Not proved clinical reliablity in detecting cancer
– Not developed nor suggested the current way of creating
images.
• Long debate on Damadian’s role
– So, Nobel prize delayed so long
• Damadian’ whining
– "If I had not been born, would MRI have existed? I don't
think so. If Lauterbur had not been born? I would have
gotten there. Eventually.“
– “Lauterbur and Mansfield should have rejected the Nobel
Prize unless Damadian was given joint recognition”
Magnetic Gradient
Magnetic Resonance Imaging
• Body in Magnetic Field
– 0.5~3.0 Tesla (Earth Magnet field:30 Tesla)
• Nuclear Magnetic Resonance of Proton
– Very abundant in biologic tissue
– Magnetic moment in magnetic field(1.5T) 
preferentially absorb RF energy at resonance
frequency(63MHz)  Reemit absorbed energy 
detect by antenna
• Change magnetic field of location by gradient
coil  select slice
MRI System
1st MRI

Back Scattered X-ray Imaging
• Back Scattered X-ray
– Compton scattering
• Source & detector
on same side
– 2D scanning by
pencil beam
• Rotating collimator &
conveyer
– Large area detector
with low dose
– 7~10sec/image
Back Scattered X-ray Imaging
• Compton backscatter:
– High for lower atomic
number
– Detect stowaways,
explosives, drugs,
organic contraband.
Millimeter Wave Scanner
Passive Millimeter Wave unit
Active Millimeter Wave Scanner
Passive Millimeter-Wave Scanner
• Dielectric Lens collecting millimeter-Wave
– 77GHz(24~30GHz) thermal noise
– Transparent to fog, clothes, paper, fire and smoke
• Bundling & amplifying by Image Sensor Array.
PMMW Images
Visible & PMMW image of runaway w & w/o fog
Active Millimeter-Wave Scanner
• Antenna array: 24-30GHz(12.5-10mm)
– Circle subject & transmit and receive waves
• Image wave reflectivity pass through clothing
– Bounce by dense material(skin, metal)
– Hologram 3D figure in 7 sec  Automatic treat
detection
Lower energy
and no tissue
damage
