Magnetic Resonance Imaging uses magnets rather than x-rays to scan your body. MRI allows physicians to look inside your body without pain, surgery, or radiation to make an early, accurate diagnosis of various illnesses and injuries. MRI sends radio waves into your body, and measures the reflective response with a computer, creating a series of detailed images of your internal organs and tissues. A board certified Radiologist will interpret these images working in conjunction with your physician, who will then diagnose your illness and plan your treatment.
OPEN MRI
Open MRI is a revolutionary new type of MRI scanner, which features easy accessibility for a larger range of patients requiring the technology of MRI. We are setting a new standard in patient comfort with our unique extra large opening. This new state-of-the-art technology combined with our experienced staff eliminates much of the anxiety as well as claustrophobic tendencies associated with these exams. Open MRI can accommodate patients weighing up to 450 pounds.
HIGH-FIELD MRI
High-Field MRI technology is a shorter unit with a much wider opening which solves one of the biggest challenges in medical imaging today. It unites the powerful diagnostic information obtained from a high-field strength (closed tube) MRI with a design that is the most open of all MRIs. This higher magnetic strength allows for much higher resolution and faster scans. Your physician will order the most appropriate machine for your exam.
