Raymond V. Damadian, 2001 Lemelson-MIT Lifetime Achievement Award Winner

Raymond Damadian's intense curiosity and passion for science led him to develop the first MR (Magnetic Resonance) Scanning Machine—one of the most useful diagnostic tools of our time. MR scanners use radio signals emitted from the body's cells to enable a non-invasive mapping of the human body in meticulous detail. For his pioneering work in magnetic resonance scanning technology, Raymond Damadian was awarded the Lemelson-MIT Program's Lifetime Achievement Award in 2001.

@levonet33,

He was snubbed because he was a Young Earth Creationist probably, not because he was a Christian. He could have been a Muslim or Jewish Young Earth Creationist also.

Most prominent scientists today are atheist/agnostic and only about 20% are Jews.

His invention was sollen by the Nobel comitee.Alfred Nobel dedicated the award only for Christians,but the Nobel comitee today consist of mostly jews.
