Minimally Invasive MRI-Guided Interventional Care

Leaders in Minimally Invasive MRI-Guided Interventional Care

Our radiologists in the Minimally Invasive MR Interventional Center (MIMRIC) lead the way in using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for targeted, personalized treatment of a wide variety of conditions. These techniques bring precision, generally leading to faster recovery with less discomfort and fewer complications than open surgery.

Whether you are a patient or a referring physician, our MIMRIC team looks forward to serving you.

Our Approach to Minimally Invasive MRI-Guided Interventional Care

Stanford Health Care’s Minimally Invasive MR Interventional Center (MIMRIC) team offers MRI-guided interventional care as a nonsurgical way to treat conditions like essential tremor or Parkinson's related tremor, bone cancer, uterine fibroids, and prostate cancer. Our highly trained radiologists work closely with neurosurgeons, oncologists, women’s health doctors, and other specialists. Using advances in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), many developed at Stanford Health Care, we precisely view tumors, nerves, blood vessels, and other structures in the body. This technology helps guide treatment personalized to your needs and is designed to relieve symptoms while leaving healthy tissues undamaged. Our MRI-guided procedures offer many advantages, including potentially faster recovery times.

What is Minimally Invasive MRI-Guided Interventional Care

About Minimally Invasive MRI-Guided Interventional Care

Minimally invasive MRI-guided interventional care makes use of the detailed images of the body anatomy captured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to deliver precision care to patients, with reduced risk and quicker recovery times as compared to conventional surgery.

When you come in for minimally invasive MRI-guided interventional care, you will be treated by expert doctors who have undergone specialized training in MRI diagnostic methods as well as MRI-guided treatment procedures. Working as a multidisciplinary team that may include neurosurgeons, oncologists, orthopaedic surgeons, gynecologists, or urologists, we will develop a care plan personalized to your needs.

Our doctors have access to the latest MRI technology, much of which was developed at Stanford Health Care, allowing them to clearly see tumors, nerves, blood vessels, and other structures in the body.

Minimally invasive MRI-guided interventional procedures are designed to relieve pain and other symptoms while leaving healthy tissues undamaged, helping to improve recovery time so that you can return to your daily activities as quickly as possible.
