One of our patents, issued in the name of Dr. Raymond Damadian and licensed to Fonar, was United States patent No. 3,789,832, Apparatus and Method for Detecting Cancer in Tissue, also referred to as the "Cancer Detection Patent". Filed on March 1972 and awarded in 1974, it is the world's first MRI patent and the scientific basis for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The Cancer Detection Patent was the first of its kind to utilize MR to scan the human body and to detect cancer. Subsequently the Company calls itself the Inventor of MR Scanning.
