On December 20, 2023, FONAR opened the Raymond V. Damadian, M.D. Memorial Museum at its corporate headquarters in Melville, New York. Adjacent to the front lobby, the museum includes a recreation of the making of the world’s first MRI image on the world’s first MRI scanner, Indomitable, at the Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn, New York on July 2 and 3, 1977.
The display includes an exact replica of Indomitable along with life-size figures of the three inventors: Dr. Raymond V. Damadian and his two postgraduate students, Lawrence Minkoff and Michael Goldsmith.
The walls of the museum are lined with panels of captioned pictures, documents, and publications covering Dr. Damadian’s personal and family history; his discovery that made and continues to make MRI possible; the building of Indomitable; the making of the first MRI image; the formation and history of FONAR; and Dr. Damadian’s achievements, honors, awards, victories, disappointments and his expression of gratitude to God.
The museum also includes an interactive display, some of Dr. Damadian’s personal items, and many historical artifacts. The opening was attended by corporate employees and family members, and is now open to the public by appointment. To make an appointment, contact Daniel Culver, Director of Communications, at RVDmuseum@fonar.com.
