The more confining experience of enclosed MRIs can make sure patients feel anxious and claustrophobic, especially kids and elderly patients who might not understand what’s happening and why they’re being put in a tube. Our Open MRI technology is different. The space you’re imaged feels more like a room, and our machine has an “open” design. Medical imaging is all about getting a clear read on exactly what’s going on inside someone’s head and other body parts. While a calm, relaxed patient is ideally the best way to ensure that sort of clear read, it also helps that our Open MRI system can give high-resolution images of the same body parts with the same sort of crystal clarity as the enclosed, half-paralyzed kind of MRI that you might have seen in a hospital.
We use the latest ultrasound imaging for diagnostic purposes, including obstetric, abdominal, vascular, and musculoskeletal examinations. Real-time images are produced using high-frequency sound waves to assess internal body structures. Sound waves are not transmissible in air, and hence, the sonographer needs to place herself near the target region as much as possible.
This has the patient lying on a table next to the sonographer, who is holding in his/her hand a small handheld device known as a transducer. The scanning is performed by people who are incredibly well-trained and are experts at operating the ultrasonic equipment that it takes to create the level of detail needed for doctors to make their correct diagnosis.
