Brain MR Imaging
MRI of the brain is the procedure recognized as yielding the most diagnostic information for evaluation of many brain diseases and anomalies. The spectacular high resolution images allow radiologists to view lesions as small as 1mm.

Cervical MR Imaging
MRI of the spine has been the procedure recognized as yielding the most diagnostic information for evaluation of primary or metastatic tumors of the spinal cord. MR imaging of other anatomical structures of the spinal cord such as nerve roots, neural foramina, ligament and disc spaces is further enhanced by exceptional resolution and contrast without bone artifacts which are common in CAT scan procedures. MR provides a highly effective alternative to myelography.

Lumbar MR Imaging
MRI of the spine has long been the procedure recognized as yielding the most diagnostic information for evaluation of primary or metastatic tumors of the spinal cord. MR imaging of other anatomical structures of the spinal cord such as nerve roots, neural foramina, ligament and disc spaces is further enhanced by exceptional resolution and contrast without bone artifacts which are common in CAT scan procedures. MR provides a highly effective alternative to myelography.

It is also useful in post-operative patients to distinguish between scar and recurrent disc disease in which you will receive a contrast injection.

Shoulder MR Imaging
MRI offers the best of all imaging because of its superior contrast differentiation between muscle, fat, vessels, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, cortical bone marrow and marrow bone space. High-resolution imaging techniques provide unparalleled detail of the menisci and ligaments.

Elbow MR Imaging
MRI offers the best of all imaging because of its superior contrast differentiation between muscle, fat, vessels, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, cortical bone marrow and marrow bone space. High-resolution imaging techniques provide unparalleled detail of the menisci and ligaments.

Wrist Imaging
MRI offers the best of all imaging because of its superior contrast differentiation between muscle, fat, vessels, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, cortical bone marrow and marrow bone space. High-resolution imaging techniques provide unparalleled detail of the menisci and ligaments.

Liver MR Imaging
MRI of the liver offers unmatched sensitivity to pathology compared to CT in the detection of primary and metastatic liver tumors. Abdominal MR, has been radically improved with recent software and hardware innovations which provides faster imaging techniques.

MRCP (Magnetic Resonance CholangioPancreatography)
MRI of the biliary system has advantages over traditional methods. MRCP has been radically improved with recent software and hardware innovations, which provides faster imaging techniques. The use of this technique aids in the detection of gall bladder and pancreatic duct obstructions.

Pelvis MR Imaging
MRI of the pelvis offers the advantages of improved soft tissue discrimination and absence of bone artifacts. It aids in the diagnosis of ovarian tumors and soft tissue masses. Also, without the use of ionizing radiation, MRI provides for safe imaging of the reproductive organ of adults.

Knee MR Imaging
MRI offers the best of all imaging because of its superior contrast differentiation between muscle, fat, vessels, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, cortical bone marrow and marrow bone space. MRI also displays excellent delineation of tumors of soft tissue and bone as well as avascular necrosis of bone. High-resolution imaging techniques provide unparalleled detail of the menisci and ligaments.
