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.
