A 1.2T High Field Open MRI is a type of Open MRI scanner that has a strong magnet (1.2 Tesla) and an open design, making it more comfortable for people who feel claustrophobic or have a larger body. The Open MRI has an open front and sides designed to provide increased comfort. The “high field” means it has a stronger magnetic field than some other MRI machines, which helps in getting more accurate images.
A 1.5T High Field MRI is a medical imaging machine that uses a strong magnetic field (1.5 Tesla) to create clear and detailed pictures of the inside of your body. The “high field” means it has a stronger magnetic field than some other MRI machines, which helps in getting more accurate images.
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.
Our MRI machines use a powerful magnetic field, radio waves, and a computer to generate detailed images of organs, tissues, bones, and other structures inside the body. With a larger bore or tunnel-like opening compared to traditional MRI machines, our wide-bore MRI provides high quality images without compromising patient comfort.
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.
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.
FibroScan offers a non-invasive alternative to traditional liver biopsies, providing a quick and painless way to assess liver stiffness and fat accumulation—key indicators of chronic liver disease. This innovative test is especially beneficial for individuals with risk factors such as obesity, diabetes, hepatitis, or chronic alcohol use.
