Brain and head MRI scans
A Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan uses a combination of magnets and radio waves to accurately capture internal images of the body. An MRI scan requires no surgical incision and it can be done on any part of the body. Unlike X-ray or CT scans which only take pictures of your bones, an MRI scan allows you to see all the bones, cartilage, ligaments, tendons, muscles, and blood vessels of the body. Therefore, it is far better at finding and evaluating problems in the brain. Also, X-rays and CT scans have ionizing radiation while MRI is safe, with no harmful radiation. In general, CT of the brain is used to evaluate patients with recent trauma to exclude a skull fracture or bleed in the brain while MRI is used for almost all other reasons.
Spine and back MRI scans
A Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan makes use of a combination of radio waves and magnets to capture images of the inside of the body. No surgical incision is necessary and it can be performed on any part of the body. Unlike X-ray or CT scans which only visualizes the cortical bones and soft tissues, an MRI scan allows you to see marrow, spinal cord, nerve roots, discs, ligaments, muscles, and blood vessels.
A lumbar spine MRI scan is a non-invasive medical exam that physicians use to assess low back pain, sciatica, lower extermity weakness, and shooting pain (radiculopathy) down one or both legs.
Joint MRI scans
A Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan makes use of a combination of radio waves and magnets to capture images of the inside of the body. No surgical incision is necessary and it can be performed on any part of the body. Unlike X-ray or CT scans which only take pictures of your bones, an MRI scan allows you to see all the bones, cartilage, ligaments, tendons, muscles, and blood vessels of the body.
A knee MRI scan looks specifically at your knee and provides detailed images of the knee joint, including bones, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, muscles, and blood vessels from all angles.
Abdominal and pelvic MRI scans
An MRI of the abdomen will detect masses, cysts, inflammation, hernias, and other abnormalities in the abdomen. It will also evaluate the organs including the gallbladder, biliary tree, liver, spleen, pancreas, adrenal glands, kidneys, and stomach.
An MRI of the pelvis evaluates the uterus, ovaries, distal intestines, and bladder. We do NOT perform prostate MRI to exclude cancer.
