3T MRI machine in Kansas

Thought I might post this for anyone in the Kansas City area.  There is a 3T MRI machine at the Heartland Hand & Spine Specialty Hospital in Overland Park, KS.  

Hope everyone has a good weekend.

Thank you for correcting me on that.  I don't know why I always put the "hand" in that title.  I think it's because they do fix hands and I've known some people who have been there for that reason.

This is going to be nasty, but St. Luke's needs to spend the money training their neuro's to read MRI's instead of upgrading their machine lol.

Hi, there.  The hospital with he 3T is simply Heartland Spine and Specialty, no Hand--but I bet they fix hands, too :) .  KU Medical Center's Hoglund Brain Imaging Center also has a 3T, but it only does brains because it goes around the head like a gigantic hair dryer.  They also brag about a 9T they use for animal studes.  The fella that told me about HSSH's said St. Luke's is getting one, but it's not in yet.

"But Mom, all the other kids have 3T MRIs, why can't I have one?"
"You have to wait until you wear out your 1.5T, honey."
