Our high-performance scanners provide high resolution Neuroimaging, Bone, Joint and Spine imaging, Abdominal and Pelvic imaging, Breast imaging and Cardiovascular imaging. MRIs with sedation or anesthesia for Pediatric patients or for patients with special needs are also available.

How MRI Works

MRI uses a large magnetic field, radio frequency and a computer to provide highly accurate images of the body. The areas of the body usually examined are the head, spine, all joints, muscles, tendons and ligaments. MRI is superior to other imaging techniques when examining soft tissue areas in the body.
