Superior MRI Accuracy and Comfort
Advanced Radiology now offers the benefit of MRI scanners that provide greater accuracy and speed with wide-diameter comfort. MRI is short for Magnetic Resonance Imaging. In simple terms, an MRI scanner uses a very large, strong magnet and radio waves. A radio wave sends signals to the body and the returning signals are converted into images by a computer. MRI scanners come in different magnet field strengths measured in teslas or “T.”
New 1.5 and 3 Tesla Scanners
The strong magnetic field strength of these new scanners yield fast, high-quality images that help your doctor diagnose complex diseases. The 1.5 tesla scanner offers a short wide opening that allows for head-out, feet-first scanning that helps eliminate feelings of claustrophobia. The powerful 3 tesla scanner provides the benefit of superior pinpoint imaging precision, short scan times and feet-first exams for nearly all studies for your comfort.
Advanced Radiology provides quick access to appointments with convenient hours, as well as Web-based access to reports and images.
