ACR Members’ Practice Selected for MRI Research Project
NeuroSkeletal Imaging of Central Florida has been chosen by General Electric as a collaborator on the company’s most advanced MRI technology, the “Signa Excite 3T.”
“We are setting the standard for imaging, and the world is taking notice,” said ACR member Marc D. Shapiro, MD, the practice’s medical director in a December 20 story in Florida Today. “The University of Miami sends students here for study, and Massachusetts General Hospital and the Mayo Clinic come here to see how we run the MRI.”
ACR member Ravi R. Ramnath, MD, another member of the practice, claims the new 3-tesla machine is “the best equipment in the world.”
“I was able to find a 3-millimeter bone tumor that had gone undetected in a child who went on to Mayo for surgery,” he said in the article. “And we’re able to see cartilage defects that could not be seen before which, for example, helps us to see early changes from arthritis.”
