The Benefits of MRI
- Produces highly detailed images of soft tissues, organs, and structures.
- Uses no ionizing radiation, making it a safe imaging option.
- Excellent for evaluating the brain, spine, joints, and abdominal organs.
- Helps in early detection of tumors, injuries, inflammation, and other abnormalities.
- Provides multiple imaging sequences for a comprehensive view of the body.
- Useful for diagnosing complex conditions that other modalities may miss.
- Noninvasive and painless.
- Offers advanced techniques such as functional MRI and MR angiography for specialized evaluations.

About the MRI Procedure
MRI is a non-invasive imaging technology that produces three-dimensional detailed anatomical images without the use of damaging radiation. It is often used for disease detection, diagnosis, and treatment monitoring. It is based on sophisticated technology that excites and detects the change in the direction or the rotational axis of protons in the water that makes up living tissues.
The MRI scanner takes multiple very thin two-dimensional pictures, which the computer assembles into three-dimensional pictures. This allows the doctor to look layer by layer at the area being scanned, which provides greater detail in the diagnostic process.
You will be brought into the MRI room and asked to lie down on the scanning table. The area of your body being scanned will be comfortably positioned in or near a special surface coil.
You will be moved into the center of the magnet and the test will begin. The machine never touches you and the exam is completely non-invasive. You will be asked to remain still to ensure the best possible images. The technologist will be right outside the room while keeping you aware of your progress through an intercom. Once the images have been recorded, you will be taken out of the MRI machine and the technologist will return to assist you off the table.
Please note that MRI machines are loud. All of our MRI suites were carefully constructed using extensive sound proofing acoustical material. This helps reduce the noise throughout the office, as well as lowering the noise level for the MRI patients up to 15 decibels! In addition, every MRI patient is offered noise cancelling headphones so they can listen to music during their scan. Due to the advanced machinery and fast scan times, most patients are done by the third song!
MRI uses a very powerful magnet. It is extremely important that you do not bring any metal into the area. Doing so can create a dangerous scenario for you and staff members.
You must remove all jewelry and any other metallic objects such as hearing aids, jeans with metal zippers, body piercings, and removable dental work. Wearing a sweatsuit with no metal may prevent you from having to change into a gown.
