What is spiral RODEO MRI?
Spiral RODEO MRI is a software package that improves the images even beyond what was possible a few years ago. There are many different technologic approaches to breast MRI, but the advantage of our approach is the extremely high spatial resolution and sensitivity for cancer detection. RODEO is an acronym for Rotating Delivery of Excitation Off-resonance (physics terminology), and you can see a demonstration of the images at Breast MRI of Oklahoma, LLC. Mercy Womens Center was selected in 2006 as one of three beta test sites in the world for the implementation of spiral RODEO MRI.
