CT imaging is one of the best and fastest tools for examining the chest, abdomen and pelvis because it provides detailed, cross-sectional views of all types of tissue.
Our Open MRI captures high-quality images. Our technicians who operate the scanner are certified in MRI and will stay in constant communication with you throughout your scan.
We put patients first, giving you access to high quality Imaging Equipment, all for an affordable price.
In order to obtain the highest quality of readings, we use the premier GE Signa HD Open MRI which are the latest state-of-the-art technology. Our highly trained staff and doctors are available to help make sense of these scans and answer any questions you may have about any procedures. Examinations can be scheduled, in most cases, on the same or next day. Our doctors will do their best to have your results within 24 hours.
What is MRI scanning?
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive medical test that helps physicians diagnose and treat medical conditions.
MR imaging uses a powerful magnetic field, radio frequency pulses and a computer to produce detailed pictures of organs, soft tissues, bone and virtually all other internal body structures. The images can then be examined on a computer monitor, printed or copied to CD. MRI does not use ionizing radiation (x-rays).
Detailed MR images allow physicians to better evaluate various parts of the body and certain diseases that may not be assessed adequately with other imaging methods such as x-ray, ultrasound or computed tomography (also called CT or CAT scanning).
Not convinced? |What are the benefits of an MRI scan?
MRI is a noninvasive imaging technique that does not involve exposure to ionizing radiation.
MRI images the soft-tissue structures of the body and is more likely to identify and characterize abnormalities and focal lesions than other imaging methods.
MRI has proven valuable in diagnosing a broad range of conditions, including cancer, heart and vascular disease, muscular and bone abnormalities.
MRI enables the discovery of abnormalities that might be obscured by bone with other imaging methods.
The contrast material used in MRI exams is less likely to produce an allergic reaction than the iodine-based materials used for conventional x-rays and CT scans.
MRI provides a fast, noninvasive alternative to x-ray angiography for diagnosing problems of the heart and blood vessels.
Still not convinced? | What are the benefits of a CT scan?
CT scanning is painless, noninvasive and accurate.
Ability to image bone, soft tissue and blood vessels all at the same time.
CT scanning provides very detailed images of many types of tissue as well as the lungs, bones and blood vessels.
CT examinations are fast and simple; in emergency cases they can reveal internal injuries and bleeding quickly enough to help save lives.
It is a cost-effective imaging tool for a wide range of clinical problems.
CT is less sensitive to patient movement than MRI. CT can be performed if you have an implanted medical device of any kind, unlike MRI.
Provides real-time imaging, making it a good tool for guiding minimally invasive procedures.
A diagnosis determined by CT scanning may eliminate the need for exploratory surgery and surgical biopsy.
No radiation remains in a patient’s body after a CT examination.
X-rays used in CT scans usually have no side effects.
