Re: New Device Performs PET&MRI Simultaneously

I like it! The fewer test/scans I have to go to the better. Any time I can avoid added radiation is a real benefit in my book. I was so interested in this I did a search and found another link on it. It took them a while to make this work..but sounds great. Plus it leaves more room inside the MRI machine for ppl that feel claustrophobic. Thanks for sharing this with us Brenda.
