Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is one of the most powerful non-invasive techniques in diagnostic medicine. Instead of using X-ray radiation, MRI uses a magnetic field, radio waves and computer technology to generate detailed three-dimensional images of body tissues and structures.

MRI is able to reveal injury or damage to soft tissue, muscles and bones. Through its sophisticated ability to differentiate between healthy and pathologic tissue, MRI is a reliable tool to diagnose cancer and neurological disorders as well as a variety of work-related and sports-related injuries. Furthermore, MRI is safer than X-ray or CT scans because it does not expose the patient to ionizing (X-ray) radiation.

Comfort

Large (CT-like) opening allows for patients with back pain to bend their knees during an exam.

No Claustrophobia

Large opening provides up to 1 foot of head room and 1’10” feet of patient gap.
The magnet (tunnel) is only 4 feet long which allows for 60% of exams to be completed with the patient’s head outside of the scanner.

Large Patients

We are able to scan patients weighing up to 550 lbs.

Litigation MRI

We offer MRI scans to all accident claimants on a contingency basis so that if the patient does not recover from their insurer, their SCAN IS FREE.

Referring physicians can access the patients’ MRI images and reports from ANY computer with internet access.

MRI scan is a painless and non-invasive diagnostic technique. You will be required to change into a gown, which is provided, or, should you wish, you may wear your own clothing without any zippers and other metal objects. The scan typically takes 20 - 30 minutes. During the scan you will be comfortably positioned in the scanner and you will be asked to hold still in order to obtain clear images.

During the scan, we offer the ability to listen to the music of your choice so please feel free to bring in your favorite CD or MP3 player.

If the referring physician requires it, a contrast agent may be introduced intravenously to define or highlight a particular area.
