Maintaining a trusted relationship with referring physicians is of utmost importance. Our Technologists produce images of the highest quality and our Radiologists deliver detailed reports within 24-48 hours, decreasing delays in treatment.
What is an MRI?
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses a magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed images of the soft tissues and organs in your body. The magnetic field temporarily aligns the water molecules in your body and radio waves cause these aligned particles to produce very faint electrical signals. These signals are used to create the MRI images.
