HIGH FIELD MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING – MRI
High Field MRI is said to be the best of both worlds because it offers the highest quality images with the most comfort for patients. MRI combines a powerful magnet with an advanced computer system and radiowaves to produce highly accurate, detailed pictures of organs and tissues to diagnose a variety of medical conditions and guide patient care.
High Field 1.5 Tesla MRIs offer the following benefits to patients:
- Faster exams. Average scan times are 15-20 minutes
- Short bore comfortable scanner
- Comfortable exams with ultra light-weight coils
- More “head out” exams thanks to the ultra-short magnet design with fewer issues with claustrophobia
- Quicker exams with flexible combinations of coils
- Dedicated coils for each body part to enhance image quality
- Improved diagnostic confidence with 1.5T image quality
- No ionizing radiation and no radiation exposure
