MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)
An MRI is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses magnetic fields, radio waves, and computers to visualize detailed structures inside the body. No radiation is involved.
A recent upgrade of our MRI equipment, including new, more sophisticated software, allows for faster, more accurate examinations. An excellent tool for diagnosing disease of the brain, spine, joints, chest, abdomen, pelvis and blood vessels, MRI has no side effects, and involves no discomfort for the patient. The MRI upgrade provides more accurate images of the wrist, shoulder, other small joints, and breast, and includes a new technique vital to early stroke detection.
