Dr. Raymond V. Damadian received the 2007 National Inventor of the Year Top Inventor Award for the MRI, even though the Nobel Prize for discoveries that depended on the MRI went to Paul Lauterbur and Sir Peter Mansfield in 2003.

Although Damadian invented the prinicple, it was Lauterbur that came up with the way to image 'slices' through the body - hence the Nobel prize. Although Damadian produced the first whole body scan, the first imaging of the human body was performed of a finger by Lauterbur.

Paul Lauterbur came up with the idea of using gradients to select different parts of the body and image through them, Sir Peter Mansfied came up with the mathematical way of making the images appear.
