3T MRI High Resolution - Fast Scanning
MRI technology uses computers and magnetic fields rather than radiation
to capture images of the human body. With a magnetic strength of
3.0 Tesla, Partners Imaging Center is the first of any hospital or imaging
center in the Sarasota-Bradenton area to provide the GE Signa EXCITE
3.0T MRI system, the most powerful MRI scanner available for clinical
use and is considered the most advanced technology of its kind in the
world. The scanner will provide our radiologists with highly detailed
pictures of anatomy and pathology to help them evaluate a wide range
of conditions including stroke, cancer, multiple sclerosis, joint abnormalities,
and spine pain. The system is the best of both worlds by giving us more
information to diagnose disease while allowing us to reduce the length
of the exam for the patient. The result is greater confidence in
the diagnosis while our patients are more comfortable. The Signa 3.0T
MRI is built precisely to handle the types of studies that are becoming
increasingly important in the diagnosis of diseases including MR Angiography
(MRA), functional imaging and spectroscopy. It's our commitment
to keeping our patients and referring doctors at the leading edge of
healthcare.
