1982 - Dr. Steven E. Harms named director of MRI department

Dr. Steven E. Harms, one of the country’s leading experts in MRI, joined the staff at Baylor as director of the MRI department from 1982 - 1996. "Most studies in MRI scanning have been with the brain, particularly diagnosing tumors and other abnormalities in the head," said Dr. Harms. "But MRI offers a breakthrough in the diagnosis of other diseases, such as cancer, stroke, heart disease and multiple sclerosis."
