		<title>Scoliosis in San Jose, Scoliosis Diagnosis and monitoring in San Jose, scoliosis in san francisco, scoliosis in San Mateo, scoliosis treatment now has radiation free testing</title>

		<description><![CDATA[We now have a scoliosis coil in San Jose that can take a full image of the entire upright spine -- within six minutes. This radiation-free evaluation can also monitor the success of scoliosis treatment. An accurate evaluation of scoliosis requires the patient to be upright. Conventional recumbent &quot;tube&quot; MRI cannot meet this need. This radiation-free application can be performed in the same amount of time and at the same cost as diagnosis and monitoring by x-ray. It sees not only the curvature of the vertebrae but also the soft tissue. There are saggital and axial views of the entire spine -- with no radiation. The 3-plane visualizations are achieved by 3D acquisition with curved multi-planar reconstruction. Both Cobb angles and angular rotation of the vertebrae are measured including the spinal  cord, intervertebral discs, nerve roots and spinal ligaments. The National Cancer Institute reported in a 2000 study of 5,466 women that demonstrated with scoliosis experienced a 70% greater risk of developing breast cancer that resulted from their protracted exposure to diagnostic x-ray. The successful treatment of Scoliosis now has radiation free diagnosis and monitoring in San Jose. <br /><br />We Are In Network with SCIPPA and PMG<br /><br />PMG has more than 380 Physicians who are committed to delivering high-quality health care. There are 160 Physicians serving in the capacity of Primary Care, Family Practice, General Practice, Internal Medicine, and Pediatrics, 217 specialties covering more than 40 disciplines, incluing OB/Gyn.<br /><br />At SCIPPA, there are 800 Doctors with offices from Los Altos to Gilroy. There are more than 90,000 members of most HMOs and Medicare Advantage plans managed on nine secure internet systems.<br /><br />Vision Upright MRI is happy to be part of both growing networks so we can better serve our referring Doctors and bring more value and ease to the patient.<br /><br />Mark Lammers<br />Vision Upright MRI<br />800-704-7226<br /><a href="http://www.visionmri.com" target="_blank" >www.visionmri.com</a><br />]]></description>

		<title>A  Completely Open MRI in San Jose - at Vision Upright MRI</title>

		<description><![CDATA[  Get a MRI scan and watch TV while you&#039;re doing it. You don&#039;t have to get in a tube and you don&#039;t have to lie down. You can stand, sit or lie down in this Completely Open Upright MRI.<br /><br />It&#039;s comfortable and easy but the best part is that Doctors get a better diagnosis and can do a better treatment plan. The Upright MRI has the ability to scan patients in a position clinically relevant to the signs and symptoms and enables weight-bearing positional evaluation.<br /><br />If you still have pain and your last MRI came up negative, then you need a weight-bearing and/or positional MRI. Traditional &quot;tube&quot; scanners are limited by the non-weight-bearing position and often do not expose the pathology that causes the pain.<br /><br />Upright and positional MRI is better able to reveal and rule out potential pathology.<br /><br />Why take the time to get a MRI scan in a tube when you can sit, stand or lie in a completely open MRI - watch TV and get a better diagnosis?<br /><br />Vision Upright MRI--the only way to have a MRI.  <br /><img src="images/position2.jpg" width="140" height="211" border="0" alt="" /><img src="images/position3.jpg" width="140" height="211" border="0" alt="" /><br /><img src="images/position4.jpg" width="140" height="211" border="0" alt="" /><img src="images/position1.jpg" width="140" height="211" border="0" alt="" /> ]]></description>

		<title>No More Claustrophobia - No More Tube - Multi Position MRI Is Here</title>
		<link>http://www.visionmri.com/pblog/index.php?entry=entry080417-195443</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Big Al is here and his mission is to eliminate claustrophobia and anxiety associated with having an MRI scan. He&#039;s 288,000 lbs. of tender loving steel and he sits like two praying hands to cradle and comfort you during your scan.<br /><br />Vision Upright MRI&#039;s Big Al allows you to walk into the machine, watch TV during the scan, and walk out when you&#039;re finished. In fact, you can stand, sit or lay and still get a better view of the body than other &quot;tube&quot; MRI machines.<br /><br />There is evidence that other MRI machines can miss pathology that Big Al can catch. A recent study from UCLA suggest that positional MRI may be the best way to detect disc bulge and at least 18% more pathology in patients with pain. (www.uprightmrinews.com/glennbroder/Spine_Journal_UCLA_study.pdf)  <br /><br />Big Al&#039;s unique open architecture is the only truly open MRI that is able to scan patients as large as 500 lbs. comfortably and he&#039;s ideal for the most severe claustrophobic patient. There is an alternative to the lay down tube MRI and it&#039;s in San Jose, CA.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[<a href="javascript:openpopup('http://www.visionmri.com/blogmedia/GoodByeMaggie1.jpg',414,436,false);"><img src="http://www.visionmri.com/blogmedia/GoodByeMaggie1.jpg" width="150" height="158" border="0" alt="" id="img_float_right" /></a> Our Beloved MRI, Maggie, has ended her 12 years of service in San Jose and will go now to India. She was the most advanced technology in her time and remained the most stable. Her field was never the highest but she put out images better than many of her bigger, more powerful brother magnets. Maggie has taught us that technology is only part of being successful in the MRI business.<br /> <br />We are helping the referring doctor and the office staff to take better care of the patient. Maggie told us that when you make the patient comfortable you take a better scan.<br /> <br />Good bye Maggie, do good things in India. Your leaving makes way for Big Al, the new MultiPositional MRI.<br /> <br />We were the first to bring Open MRI to San Jose service area and now we will be the first to bring MultiPositional MRI. Big Al is coming and he will allow you to stand, sit or lie down to take your MRI.  We will give Big Al a little lesson from Maggie so he understands how to handle our patients.<br /> <br />Please join us on our journey.<br /><br /> <br /><img src="http://www.visionmri.com/blogmedia/GoodByeMaggie2.jpg" width="300" height="242" border="0" alt="" /> <br />Maggie loaded for shipment to India<br />]]></description>
