3 Tesla MRI
3.0 Tesla MRI uses magnetism and radio waves to produce clear pictures of the human anatomy. In fact, the 2003 Nobel Prize in Physiology was awarded to scientists for their discoveries concerning magnetic resonance imaging. MRI quickly became the tool of choice for soft tissues such as ligaments and tendons and is widely used in orthopedics .
- Comfortable: The new, sophisticated wide design makes it more comfortable, allowing a more relaxing experience. The shorter magnet also means many exams can be done with your head outside of the system.
- Fast: The exclusive technology allows faster, more efficient exams with high image quality.
- Confident: A stronger 3.0T magnet delivers excellent images to help your physician make a more accurate diagnosis.
Preparation
No advance preparation is required. There are some circumstances that prevent a patient from having a 3.0 Tesla MRI, like certain types of metal implants or a pacemaker. This is because both metal and radio waves can interfere with the functioning of a 3.0 Tesla MRI scanner. A patient screening form is provided and will be reviewed by a technologist before your exam.
MRI Angiography of the Brain
MRI Angiography (Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the arteries of the Brain) with State-of-the-Art 3Tesla MRI Unit. Superb quality. Specialized hardware ad software optimizes visualization of arteries without the need in injected contrast material (dye). Done in 3 minutes
Prostate
MRI Prostate with a positive cancer. Images performed with superb image quality at 3.0 Tesla (strongest MRI magnet in clinical imaging -the strongest the magnet, the faster the scanning, and the better the image quality). This exam is unique in the medical diagnostic world; examination is called a Multiparametric MRI of the Prostate. It includes specialized hardware (ultra-strong magnet, specialized antennas (coils), and unique imaging techniques to detect prostate cancer.
Cholangiopancreatography
MR Cholangiopancreatography (MR of the Gallbladder and Common bile duct). Image shows a gallstone. State of the Art images in 5 secs, acquired in a Siemens 3.0 Tesla magnet (strongest in clinical imaging).
