[15] [16] [30] Damadian claims to have invented the MRI. [31] The U.S. National Science Foundation notes "The patent included the idea of using NMR to 'scan' the human body to locate cancerous tissue." [32] However, it did not describe a method for generating pictures from such a scan or precisely how such a scan might be done. [33] [34]
