Hero: MRI inventor Paul C. Lauterbur

Paul C. Lauterbur, 77, Dies; Won Nobel Prize for M.R.I. - New York Times

Paul C. Lauterbur, who shared the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 2003 for developing magnetic resonance imaging into a way to look inside living organisms, died yesterday at his home in Urbana, Ill. He was 77.

This guy’s life work, which saved thousands, if not millions of lives (and made HOUSE, M.D. possible), should be front page news everywhere.
