Open MRI
Magnetic Resonance Imaging, or MRI, uses magnetic fields and radio waves to obtain remarkably detailed images of the body. It is completely painless. With the images produced from this procedure, your doctor can get important information about your brain, spine, joints, and/or internal organs. An Open MRI simply refers to the way the equipment is configured: basically, it is open on three sides, which makes for a roomy, bright experience. The procedure lasts about 30 to 60 minutes.
Highfield MRI
Magnetic Resonance Imaging, or MRI, uses magnetic fields and radio waves to obtain remarkably detailed images of the body. It is completely painless. With the images produced from this procedure, your doctor can get important information about your brain, spine, joints, and/or internal organs. A Highfield MRI simply refers to the way the equipment is configured: it has a very large opening that is flared at both ends, and the magnetic bore is only three feet in length, which makes for an airy, relaxing environment. The procedure takes about 30 to 60 minutes.
CT Scans
A CT scan uses special X-ray equipment to obtain images from different angles around the body. These images are important tools for your physician because they clearly show several types of tissue—lung, bone, soft tissue, and blood vessels. The CT scanner is a large, square machine with a hole in the center. During the exam, you simply lie still on a table that can move at various angles within the hole. A CT examination usually takes five minutes to half an hour.
X-Ray/Fluoroscopy
X-rays send individual X-ray particles through your body, and a computer or special film is used to record the images created. Fluoroscopy is a technique for obtaining "live" X-ray images. Both are used for a variety of diagnosis. Most X-rays are completed within an hour.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound produces pictures of the inside of the body through high- frequency sound waves. Because ultrasound images are captured in real- time, they can show the structure and movement of the body's internal organs, as well as blood flowing through blood vessels. Most ultrasounds are fast, painless, and easy, and most are complete in 30 to 60 minutes.
