PrimeImaging:
MRI
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a diagnostic tool that produces detailed images of the human body without the use of x-rays, instead merging the magnetic field, radio frequency, and computers to produce highly detailed images of internal structures in a noninvasive way. MRIs are painless and involve no ionizing radiation.
PrimeImaging provides state-of-the-art MRI equipment utilizing high-field open magnets. This allows us to provide the best quality imaging study while maximizing patient comfort.
Noninvasive imaging technique
Does not use radiation
Versatile enough to diagnose a broad range of conditions
Enables the discovery of abnormalities that might be obscured
Contrast material used in MRI exams is less likely to produce an allergic reaction
Facilities Offering MRI:
3T Open MRI available at all four locations
Battlefield and McCallie have an additional 1.5 MRI magnet
