New I-MRI????
« on: October 26, 2009, 12:31:51 pm »
Hi everyone,

Just saw a video on the new I-MRI for brain tumors. It's supposed to be the only one in the world?? It's located in Portland Oregon at Provident St Vincent's hospital. The function is that it does MRI's in "real time". It cost 5 million dollars and has just been in use a few weeks. For those of you who are great at research, this is a new beginning that may benifit all of us?? They also said it came into being mostly from donations! Wow, keep that new technology coming!!!

Left-Translab July '09. Cyberknife Jan 2010. In Apr 2017, four more tumors found; three in the brain and one, 7cm long, on my spinal cord; it was surgically removed. It was cancerous, and so are the others. I've been receiving Chemo since June '18, and I'm still in treatment.

Hello DoctorB,

I don't think that is the same machine??? I may be wrong, though. This I-MRI is supposed to really help in the brain tumor surgeries.
Keep researching! Thanks,
Jackie

Yes, DoctorB,

That appears to be the one! I saw the video on our Fox news' website. Hopefully it will make resection more accurate.
Thanks for perservering!
