Copy and paste from Dave's 12/10/97 post (Yahoo) ------------------------ Just finished talking with a research physicist who has been working with a local clinic on MRI mammography. Research is being focussed on the next phase of MRI, surgical biopsies [problems with working in the magnetic field]. One key asset of X-ray mammography is the ability to do stereotactic biopsies from the images. Currentluy Fisher Imaging, Trex, Philips, etc provide the equipment for real time biopsies.The ideal procedure is one where there is no ionizing radiation, fast, high resolution imaging, low cost and painless. The next phase is to provide the ability to do real time biopsies. CAPR systems provide most of the features, but there is much work to be done. CAPR may not have the leadereship to move the technology in a timely manner. Some one posted on the SI nety that X-ray mammography was a major topic at RSNA. Did CAPR have a "works-in-progress" display? Luis2 is correct in expressing support for the MRI mammography. Just a few minutes with Dr. kaiser from Bonn would convince anyone of the enormopus potential for MRI. Unfortunately there is much work to be done to convince the medical community, and until MRI procedures are common place, we will have to continue with the industry standard. Several radiologists in Boston were excited about the development of a small MRI machine that could be installed in a doctors office. Does CAPR need help managing the direction of its technology? Since my Grandchildren have CAPR stock they read the posts daily. Please!
