🧠 𝗥𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝗿. 𝗥𝗮𝘆𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝗗𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗮𝗻 – 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗥𝗜 🧠
As 𝗔𝘂𝗴𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝟯𝗿𝗱 approaches, we honor Dr. Raymond Damadian, the visionary behind 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗠𝗥𝗜 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿.

Born in Manhattan and raised in Queens, Dr. Damadian earned a bachelor's in math before studying medicine at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and completing a biophysics fellowship at Harvard. His curiosity led him to explore how nuclear magnetic resonance could be used not just to identify chemicals in test tubes, but in the human body.

He discovered that cancerous tissue emits different signals than healthy tissue—a revelation that paved the way for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). On 𝗝𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝟯, 𝟭𝟵𝟳𝟳, with help from his assistants, he performed the first MRI scan on Lawrence Minkoff, capturing images of his chest 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘮𝘧𝘶𝘭 𝘳𝘢𝘥𝘪𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯. The resulting image looked 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗮 𝗽𝗶𝘅𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗽 than a modern MRI—showing tissue differences, but without clear organ outlines.

Others, like 𝗣𝗮𝘂𝗹 𝗟𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗯𝘂𝗿 and 𝗣𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱, built on his work by developing ways to turn radio signals into images and usable data, making MRI a vital tool in diagnosis and treatment, and earning them the Nobel Prize in 2003.

Dr. Damadian faced challenges in gaining recognition. Major tech companies built their own MRI machines, sparking legal battles over patent rights. While he won some key cases, he was notably excluded from the Nobel Prize: a painful omission for him.

Still, his contributions weren't unnoticed. In 1989, President Reagan inducted him into the National Inventors Hall of Fame, and his original MRI machine, 𝘐𝘯𝘥𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦, now sits in the Smithsonian.

Dr. Damadian passed away on August 3, 2022, but his legacy lives on in every MRI scan performed worldwide.

History of Interventional Radiology Training at the Dotter Institute

Take it from Viola Davis—when it comes to MRIs, honesty really is the best policy. 🧲✨

Before stepping into a giant magnetic machine, be sure to inform your MRI technician about all the metal in or on your body (yes, even the items you may have forgotten you were wearing 🫣). Your MRI tech will definitely ask, but trust us—you don’t want to find out the hard way why that matters!

On this Juneteenth, Advanced Radiology reflects on the profound meaning of this day — commemorating the end of slavery in the United States and honoring the countless contributions Black Americans have made to our history, our communities, and our professions.

As a radiology clinic serving Mid-Missouri, we are especially proud to recognize two pioneers in our field whose legacies began just two hours away in St. Louis: 𝗗𝗿. 𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗺 𝗘. 𝗔𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻 𝗝𝗿. and 𝗥𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗣𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗲𝘀-𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝘀.

🔹 𝗗𝗿. 𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗺 𝗘. 𝗔𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻 𝗝𝗿. (1903–1981) broke countless barriers as:

✅ The first Black diplomate of the American Board of Radiology
✅ The first Black fellow and Gold Medalist of the American College of Radiology
✅ Founder of the National Medical Association’s Radiology Section
✅ Creator of the first minority radiology residency program
✅ A professor, mentor, and relentless advocate for equity in medicine

🔹 𝗥𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗣𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗲𝘀-𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝘀 (1913–1992), a registered nurse turned X-ray technologist, became:
✅ The first Black registrant of the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) in 1936
✅ A lifelong healthcare provider in St. Louis, inspiring future generations of technologists and nurses

Their dedication not only advanced radiology — it empowered Black professionals and women in medicine across Missouri and the nation.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗨𝗹𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝘀?

At AR, we regularly use Spectral Doppler with our ultrasounds—going beyond the basic grayscale images most people are familiar with. Why? Because Doppler gives us more than just a picture—it shows us how blood is moving inside your body.

This matters when we’re checking for things like:
🩸 Is blood flowing properly through a vessel?
🔁 Is it going in the right direction and at a healthy speed?
🚨 Are there signs of a blockage, clot, or high blood pressure?
💡 Is an organ getting enough blood to function the way it should?

We, your providers, and multiple studies understand that doppler is irreplaceable in finding these answers making it a powerful tool for diagnosis and treatment planning, especially when blood flow is a concern. That said, doppler is not always needed if we’re checking for something simple like a hernia, a lipoma (fatty lump), a bruise, or in emergency situations where time is critical, a standard ultrasound may be enough to start.

BUT when blood flow matters, Doppler is what makes the difference and at Advanced Radiology , we believe you deserve nothing less than the best and most complete care.

In case you missed it, Advanced Radiology traded in our scrubs for golf clubs this past Monday when we hit the greens to participate in Columbia College's annual Golf Tournament and had an absolute blast! ⛳️ If you caught our earlier post, you already know we had so much fun. 😁
