OPEN MRI

OPEN MRI

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a type of imaging test involving the use of radio waves and magnetic waves together to produce images of the body’s internal organs. Doctors use these images to analyze whether you have any abnormalities in your organs, bones, soft tissues and joints.

CT/CAT SCAN

CT/CAT SCAN

A CT scan combines a series of X-ray images taken from different angles around your body and uses computer processing to create cross-sectional images (slices) of the bones, blood vessels and soft tissues inside your body. CT scan images provide more-detailed information than plain X-rays do.

ULTRASOUND

UTRASOUND

An ultrasound is a medical exam that uses sound waves to see organs and blood vessels inside your body. It is a valuable tool in helping to detect certain diseases and conditions by distinguishing one form of tissue from another. Ultrasound does not require the use of x-rays. It is simple and painless!

X-RAY

X-RAY

X-rays use invisible electromagnetic energy beams to produce images of internal tissues, bones, and organs on film or digital media. Standard X-rays are performed for many reasons, including diagnosing tumors or bone injuries.

3 TESLA MRI

3 TESLA MRI

The 3 Tesla MRI is a radiation-free procedure that uses magnets and radio waves to take pictures of soft tissues, bone, fat, and muscles.
