A 1.5T Wide Bore MRI is a type of medical imaging machine that uses a strong magnetic field (1.5 Tesla) to take detailed pictures of the inside of your body. The “wide bore” part means the opening of the machine is larger at 27 ½” wide, making it more comfortable for people who feel anxious or are larger in size. Many of our 1.5T Wide Bore MRIs feature faster scanning technology to reduce most exams to 15 minutes.
A 16-slice CT scanner is a medical imaging machine that takes detailed X-ray pictures of your body in thin slices, which are then combined to create a complete image. The “16-slice” part means it can capture 16 slices of images at once, allowing for faster and more detailed scans.
Faster scanning MRI technology reduces the time patients spend on the table for scans by up to 50% to an average scan time of less than 15 minutes providing a more comfortable imaging experience for anxious patients or anyone in pain. AI technology delivers high quality images with reduced motion artifacts and noise distortions for the diagnostic insights providers need to determine next steps in patient care.
Fluoroscopy uses injected contrast dye and an X-Ray machine to take a continuous series of X-rays instead of individual snapshots. It is most commonly used to evaluate parts of your body that are moving in order to create a short video of your body system in motion. It is particularly useful for observing the digestive, urinary, respiratory, and reproductive systems and their functioning.
Myelogram imaging is used to evaluate the spinal cord, nerve roots, and surrounding structures in the spine with an injectable contrast dye to enhance the visibility of the spinal cord and nerves on X-ray images.
Ultrasound, also known as sonography, has a small handheld device called a transducer used to emit high-frequency sound waves into the body making it particularly useful for examining developing fetuses during pregnancy and for imaging soft tissues and organs.
X-ray, also known as radiography, is a medical imaging technique that uses electromagnetic radiation to create images of the inside of the body. X-ray imaging is one of the most commonly used diagnostic procedures in medicine.

Find out why your healthcare provider recommended a CT scan to test for kidney stones, and see how your CT results can help shape your treatment options.
Doctors often recommend FibroScan over a traditional liver biopsy because it is a non-invasive, painless, and quick procedure that accurately assesses liver stiffness and fat content. This advanced imaging technology provides reliable results without the discomfort, risks, or recovery time associated with a biopsy, making it a preferred option for evaluating liver health.
