Lee Stein at TEDMED 2011
Lee talks about how his son Spencer's 150-foot fall led to a unique and urgent interdisciplinary medical collaboration, leading to accelerated breakthroughs in medical imaging.
An MRI of Spencer Stein’s spine, showing an abnormality, was taken in August, 2010, after a paragliding fall.
