The
new 1.5 MRI high field system scanner provides superior imaging
quality giving physicians better images to evaluate a patient's
condition. The unit is designed to make procedures more comfortable
for patients. It has a wide open short bore which gives a
more open feeling which is especially comforting for patients
who are claustrophobic. Other features include an intercom
system which allow for communication between the patient and
staff at all times; a stereo system with a CD player and the
system can accommodate patients up to 350 lbs. |

This
MRI technology gives patients the option of receiving their
care closer to home instead of needing to seek care at health
care facilities out of the area. An MRI scan can be used as
a diagnostic tool for identifying or evaluating many health
conditions. A few of the diagnostic uses include evaluating
diseases of the brain, neck abdomen and spine; identifying
cardiovascular disease; and evaluating orthopedics injuries. |

If
you or a family member is in need of an MRI you may request
that your physician schedules your appointment at Jefferson
Memorial Hospital. |
