Helping meet each patient’s needs

Some radiologists believe that the advanced
clinical capabilities found in specialty MR
systems like the Optima MR430s rival those of
whole-body systems. Dr. William B. Morrison
is one of them.

As director of the division of musculoskeletal
radiology at Thomas Jefferson University
Hospitals in Philadelphia, Dr. Morrison insisted
that his facility be among the first in the U.S.
to install an extremity-dedicated MR system.

* Dr. Morrison has consulted for GE Healthcare in the past, and

Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals is a GE Healthcare showsite.

“Our goal was to guide our patients to the
right MRI scanner for their needs,” he reports.
“For those who need extremities scanned, the
first goal is comfort. The second is to keep
patients still so we can get the best image
consistency.

“The quicker the patient is in and out, the
better it is for everyone. We’re assured that
we get excellent quality images.”*

William B. Morrison, M.D.
