MRI in Europe

Post by Alex.g »

Hello,

I live in France, and I'm very interested in the MRI technique of Dr Potter.

However, New York is quite far, and the price of the MRI is quite high.

Does anyone know if there is a way in Europe to get the MRI done ? I hope that Dr Potter will be able to train some people in Europe, because it is quite a huge improvment in the diagnostic of the disease....

If you hear anything about it, please let us know !

http://www.umediagnostics.com/ had promise a 3 T scanner but it doesn't seem to have materialised yet. Although they do have this http://www.umediagnostics.com/specialti ... l-imaging/.
I did have a san using this imaging equipment and Dr Blease, the radiologist, did find that I had PN at Alcocks canal. I don't think it can be compaired to Dr Potters detailed reports however but it seems to be all we have at the moment in Europe.
The cost was £715 a year ago.
Take care,
Helen
