Do You Know the Inventor Behind the MRI Machine?

A little history to test your medical tech trivia.

At our lab’s trivia nights, I just pull up the 2003 Nobel page to settle it: Paul Lauterbur and Peter Mansfield are credited for MRI development, though some still argue for Raymond Damadian. Since you said “a little history,” try a quick “Nobel MRI 2003” search — do you stick with the Nobel pair or include Damadian?
