Transforming Medicine--Innovations in MRI
Our Department is one of the leading centers in the research and clinical application of 3T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which allows radiologists to uncover disease and abnormalities that are invisible when imaged by other methods, such as computed tomography (CT). Neuroradiology Section Chief Scott Atlas, MD, characterizes some of the advances in state-of-the-art 3T MRI at Stanford and its tremendous impact on patients, especially those with brain and musculoskeletal abnormalities. Our scientists are working on future breakthroughs in 3T MRI, such as imaging function and metabolism; developing diagnostic criteria for diseases; merging medical imaging with molecular biology; and screening patients for disease in its very early stages. |
