Gainesville Open MRI

WHAT IS MRI? MRI, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, is a method used by physicians to look inside the human body to obtain diagnostic information. Incorporating an advanced technology, MRI produces images of the anatomy without the use of radiation as in x-ray and CT scanning. MRI utilizes the physical properties of magnetic fields, radio waves and computers to generate images of the soft tissues within the body in any plane. This technique is now commonly used as a primary diagnostic tool. It can help provide a quick and more accurate diagnosis for your physician which might have associated risks.
*Open Magnetic Resonance Imaging (Open MRI)* is an advanced diagnostic imaging procedure that creates detailed images of internal bodily structures without the use of ionized radiation (x-rays). Open MRI is able to produce these detailed images through the use of a powerful magnet, radiowaves and a computer. MRI can assist physicians in detecting and diagnosing diseases or other abnormalities in very early stages.Claustrophobic, obese and pediatric patients, along with those suffering from post-traumatic stress syndrome, are often able to comfortably undergo MRI examinations in the “open architecture” systems while failing to tolerate traditional “closed” MRI systems. Open systems are quieter and more comfortable for patients. Open MRI systems are rapidly becoming a preferred choice for many healthcare consumers.
