RE:RE:RE:Clinical trial at Duke UniversityMRI's are very expensive with testing involving moving a patient through a spinning magnet which is very loud. It's like being put into an earthquake, bin der, don dat. Causes the patient anxiety whereas ECHO involves a little lube and a warm massage with the scanning instrument.
VMS works on practically every ultrasound across the globe not just VPT's manufactured machines, so it's easy to get an ECHO done. MRI's are booked months in advance and takes much longer for procedure which bills way higher to pay off multi million cost of MRI machines.
