Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

MRI produces detailed view of a specific area of anatomy with optimal contrast, high image quality, and minimal “noise”. In addition, MRI s that it can create detailed images of blood vessels without the necessity of injecting the patient with contrast media.

Offering the Latest State-of-the-art Technology

Phoebe's 1.5 tesla Siemens Magnetom Avanto total imaging matrix MRI scanner is a revolutionary advance in MR technology that represents a breakthrough in detail and contrast. Put simply, this scanner sees things others can't.

In addition, the Siemens MagnetomVerio 3-Tesla MRI system produces images with extreme detail and clarity while revealing fine changes in body structures of physiological processes. This system also allows thinner slices and better visualization of anatomy and enhanced lesion detectability, contrast dose reduction, new levels of nerve detail, improved border definition with higher resolution orthopedic studies, and excellent neurology studies. It can pick up early chemical changes that other tests may not find and allows for more precise diagnosis and enhanced patient care.

Applications of 3T MRI:

  • Neurological Imaging
  • Musculoskeletal Imaging (MSK)
  • Perfusion/Diffusion Studies
  • Spectroscopy
  • Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA)
  • Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography (MRCP)
