BINGHAMTON, N.Y. – United Health Services (UHS) and Binghamton University have entered a new partnership that has brought a state-of-the art magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner to the Southern Tier of New York. The $2.6 million MRI, a Siemens MAGNETOMPrisma 3 Tesla scanner, is located at UHS’ Vestal campus, making Broome County home to one of the most advanced MRI technologies in the region. The project is now live and available to serve the community and conduct path-breaking research.
This venture brings Binghamton University faculty and other partners together to conduct academic and clinical research in areas such as biomedical research – particularly neurosciences – and computer science. Research applications include innovative studies of the human brain, which will deepen a scientific understanding of brain disorders, from Alzheimer’s disease to autism.
It also enables UHS to offer cutting-edge clinical diagnostics for its patients. Clinical applications of the scanner include diagnosis of brain disease and disorders, cardiovascular disease, and orthopedic injuries. It will also offer the capability for patients to receive cardiac MRIs locally in Binghamton, a service that is currently only available in large cities such as Syracuse, Rochester and New York City.
“As the two largest employers in the region, UHS and Binghamton University have a history of working together to serve and invest in the community,” said John M. Carrigg, president and chief executive officer of UHS. “This partnership between UHS and BU, and specifically this scanner, will open new avenues of research for faculty and provide UHS physicians and patients with the latest advanced diagnostic imaging technology available in the industry.”
MRI-centered research is a cross-disciplinary pursuit that blends expertise in physics, anatomy, physiology, neuroscience and advanced data processing sciences. The center will enable faculty to expand on cross-disciplinary col
For the last 3 years, my son (who you can see back in my photo-stream playing football) has been a high school football coach (defensive backs) for the Upperman High School Bees. This year, they made it all the way to the TSSAA 4A State Championship game in the Blue Cross Bowl in Chattanooga, Tennessee. This was the first ever appearance in the championship game by Upperman and they played the Pearl Cohn Firebirds out of Nashville, Tennessee. As you can see from the photograph above, it was a rainy, cold, dreary day in Chattanooga but we witnessed some great high school football between two teams hungry to take home a state title. Unfortunately, Upperman came up just short and lost to Pearl Cohn 36 - 27. Congratulations to the Firebirds but I am most proud of the fight in the Upperman Bees football team and the way that I've watched my son interact with his players throughout the season. I know that he is doing something that he loves & enjoys and that all makes me proud! Congratulations to him, the rest of the coaching staff, and all the players of the 14-1 state runner-up Upperman Bees Football Team...I'm already looking forward to next season! Go Bees!
