"Each of our offices provides state of the art x-ray capabilities. Our convenient MRI services are provided at our Granite Run campus"
One of the most widely used imaging tests for diagnostic purposes is magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). These scans will help your physician diagnosis your condition and identify the right course of treatment
Whereas an X-ray is used to take pictures of bones and related structures, an MRI is used to take pictures of the soft tissue structures such as muscle, nerves, ligaments and tendons. MRI is also used for imaging the spinal canal and brain. Unlike an X-ray, it uses no radiation.
An MRI is not only used for diagnostic purposes but also to track the effectiveness of treatment, the progression of a disease, or the healing of an injury. MRI scanning produces fast results and high-quality images of the body's inner structures.
