What is MRI?
MRI is
the chosen procedure for diagnosing a large number of potential problems or
abnormal conditions in many different parts of the body. An MRI creates images that can help show
difference between health and unhealthy tissues. Unlike many of the forms of Medical Imaging,
an MRI uses powerful magnets to produce images instead of Radiation. Physicians
all over the world use MRI’s to examine part of the body such as the brain,
spine, joints, knee, shoulder, hip, wrist, ankle, abdomen, pelvis, breast, and
heart.
Here at Radiology Associates of
Albuquerque, High Resolution, and Albuquerque Imaging Center we have a total of 4 MRI’s
available for our patients. One of
our MRI’s is a wide open MRI which makes the experience much more comfortable
for those patients who are very claustrophobic.
We also have a Wide Bore MRI that is 70cm wider than the traditional MRI
which also helps with comfort for our patients.
