Open MRI Services
Magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) utilizes a large magnet to provide high quality
images of the body and is a very helpful tool in the diagnosis of problems
affecting the bones and joints. Our Open MRI Imaging system employs the
most powerful magnet available in an open system. The physician is therefore
provided with the highest resolution and clearest images, giving the greatest
diagnostic potential.
Our Open MRI Imaging system provides the greatest patient comfort available
in MRI technology. Closed MRI systems can provide high quality images,
however, patient comfort can be a problem, especially in patients prone
to claustrophobia. Our Open MRI Imaging system with our highly qualified
MRI technologists and staff seek to maximize patient comfort and we make
it a priority throughout your visit.
Appointments
are necessary for an MRI and can generally be completed several days after
your call. A majority of insurance companies require pre-certification
for this type of radiologic evaluation prior to your MRI.
If you have any questions or would like to schedule an appointment with
our Open MRI Department, please call PMI Diagnostic Imaging at (708) 923-2577.
