Pneumatic robot arranges limbs for MRI 'sweet spot'

[Remmzo]

This has to be for comedy purposes.If the finger is scanned in 3D,you could MPR(Multi-plane-reconstruction­)this thing in any plane at any angle.There would be no need to "position" the patient in that way.You can even do curved ranges now,to follow curved structures.Also,it takes 5min@most to set up most scans,even a finger.Technologist run MRI scanners not doctors.Next,why would you twist and turn an injured body part.If my hip was broken and you did that to me,laughable. This has to be a joke.

It takes a doctor *two hours* to bend someone's leg?

[NicNasty1981]

What they meant was it can take a nurse up to 2 hours of trial and error of positioning the limb. Doctors can be there but its normanly to supervise and/or speak to the patient. Saying that i with mt experiance i think 2 hours is just taking the piss

[Jmcenanly]

They have to be very careful,as it could be very painful for the patient.

[hrhgreasemonkey]

imagine how long it would take a person who didn't have the foggiest idea.. ; )

What happens if you have metal in your leg and you go in a MRI?

[sylvanaswow]

it would rip it out of your leg

[SoraRoxasdude1]

Ow! I thought so though.

[BeondaPale]

And I guarantee that the company that made it is going to change a pretty penny for it.
