Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) applies large magnet and radio frequencies to create highly detailed images of the internal body.
This non-invasive, diagnostic testing procedure offers more detailed images as compared to computed tomography (CT) scans and is especially effective in the detection and monitoring of cancers in the soft tissues. In addition, MRI procedures do not have the negative effects of radiation that are sometimes found in traditional x-rays and CT scans.
Open MRIs are similar to a conventional MRI except that device is not circular and does not completely surround the patient. Ideal for patients who suffer from claustrophobia symptoms, an open MR is “C” shaped and offers a more comfortable experience.
High strength, or high field, MRIs offers the highest resolution images possible with unmatched speed. These detailed images of unsurpassed quality improve patient diagnosis and treatment.
