What is an MRI?

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a method of obtaining 2D and 3D detailed cross-sectional images of internal body structures.

MRI does not use radiation or radioactive substances. Physical properties of strong magnetic fields, radio waves and computers are used to generate the images for an MRI. The superior detail and accuracy from your NORTHERN OPEN MRI report can help your doctor with the detection and diagnosis of many problems and abnormalities.

NO Sedation Needed . . . Painless . . . Experience the Difference

The HITACHI ARIS II provides patients with the comfort of being in an OPEN MRI scanner. Patients can Experience the Difference. No Sedation is needed to alleviate the fear and the claustrophobia associated with a closed MRI scanner.

During the exam the machine will make tapping / knocking sounds while the scanner acquires the information used to produce the images. All the patient has to do is lay still and relax while listening to music. Bring your cd’s or use ours. Companions are permitted.

MRI is a versatile diagnostic imaging modality with the ability to image many internal parts of the body. MRI can with incredible detail and accuracy, detect abnormalities which CT and X-rays cannot, especially those involving soft tissue. MRI is one of the most effective clinical evaluations used for diagnosing many problems and disorders including. . .
