Imaging and Diagnostics
Both CT and MRI scanners provide a more detailed and accurate look at patients who may have tumors, cancer, problems in brian or spinal cord, cartilage or ligament concerns and much more.
The CT scanner applies computer technology and digital imaging techniques to traditional X-ray studies to provide two-dimensional,cross-sectional images of particular organs or regions of the body. These images apear as slices through the structure being examined.
The MRI scanner does not use radiation, but combines strong magnetic fields and radio frequency waves working in tandem to generate images of the body's internal organs, the end result is highly detailed, three-dimensional diagnostic images.
The new MRI is less confining and more comfortable than older models, even for patients who may suffer from claustrophobia.
