Authors
Dr. Raymond Damadian, Father of the MRI, passed away on August 3, 2022. In this Letter to the Editor, we discuss Dr. Damadian’s seminal discovery, his path to making the first MRI machine, as well as the work he did in his later years on the dynamics of CSF flow in neurodegenerative disease. We hope to honor the legacy of such an influential character in radiology history and inspire others to continue to continue to explore, innovate, and cure disease with his technology for years to come.
