MRI

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a specialized medical imaging technique that uses magnetic fields and computer-generated radio waves to create detailed images of the organs and tissues in your body.

MRI is a non-invasive way for your doctor to assess the organs, tissues, and skeletal system. It produces high-resolution images of the inside of the body that help diagnose a variety of problems.

Our open MRI system is the first on the North Coast. It is designed to allow family members to be inside the room with the patient. It is ideal for children and patients who may experience difficulty in the traditional MRI closed tube system. There is a decreased risk of claustrophobia and panic attacks.
