 MR OPENS UP TO THERAPY The open configuration of Stanford's newest magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system, called the MRT, for "magnetic resonance therapy," is a radical departure from the claustrophobic design of conventional scanners and gives physicians easy access to patients during imaging. The device also provides ample room for performing complex procedures within the scanner. In this demonstration, MRT nurse coodinator Gail Reiner poses as a patient, while Bruce Daniel, assistant professor of radiology, positions a tracking device used to guide biopsies.The new system was installed last year, and is one of only four such scanners in the United States and 11 worldwide.
