MRI

What is an MRI?


MRI, or Magnetic Resonance Imaging, represents one of the greatest advances of modern medicine. With this powerful yet totally non-invasive imaging procedure, diagnostic radiologists can visualize the earliest presentations of a large variety of important diseases and conditions, [including many common forms of cancer]. Besides providing the opportunity for early diagnosis, we are able to carefully evaluate the stage or degree of advancement of the condition and help plan for appropriate therapy. This benefits the patient with a reduced need for hospitalization and fewer trips to the operating room.

MRI is ideal for evaluating orthopedic and joint conditions as well as the majority of sports related injuries and disc herniations in neck and back. The physicians of Atlantic Medical Imaging have consistently practiced at the forefront of the newest applications of MRI such as examinations of the breast, pelvis, prostate, arteries and bile ducts. MRI applications that are being utilized clinically at the major university hospitals are certain to be found at Atlantic Medical Imaging.

Atlantic Medical Imaging operates 6 advanced MRI facilities, each equipped with state-of-the-art technology. Atlantic Medical Imaging offers both open and closed MRI. A closed MRI is open at either end. The area of the body being imaged has to be at the center of the magnet. The open MRI has openings on nearly all sides, and is therefore well suited for claustrophobic patients.
