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.
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.
