A truly special day today at Lahey Clinic where the Lahey radiation/oncology department hosted a wedding ceremony.

We wish the lovely couple a long and happy life together!

MRI Quench at Lahey Clinic [Video]
This morning, Lahey Clinic quenched an older 1.5 MRI to make room for new, state-of-the-art 3T system at the Burlington facility. The scheduled quenching went off without a hitch. Non toxic cold helium vapor was released into the air for approximately one minute... that's the large cloud of white smoke you see in the video.
The new MRI unit should be available to patients within 12 weeks. As always, we strive to provide all Lahey patients with the best technology available.
