I am enjoying your lively discussion and would like to provoke more thought on the topic of standup MRI. Putting motion artifact aside and making all other things (Magnet strength and technician skill etc.) equal, Dr. Corenman, and MRI4u do you think there is value or an advantage in performing a standup MRI as opposed to a traditional. Also would you see a benefit in a true standing weight bearing MRI, verus a seated at either 90 degrees or reclined position versus the traditional supine position. I look forward to your replies. -George
