Magnetic Resonance Imaging MRI
Safe & advanced imaging procedure
Distinguishing between healthy tissue and abnormal tissue requires the latest technology coupled with highly trained specialists. At Adventist Health Lodi Memorial, patients can enjoy both.
As our patient, you will benefit from our advanced MRI imaging. Using a 1.5 Tesla magnet, scans are performed by the gold standard throughout the medical MRI imaging community.
MRIs are excellent at demonstrating contrast differences between tissue types located within close proximity to each other. Utilizing magnetic fields rather than ionic radiation, MRI is often the safest choice for patients who need to undergo multiple scans or tests.
Our new SIGNA Artist MRI provides patients with the latest in diagnostic imaging technology including:
- A whole new level of comfort with adaptable coil designs and acceleration techniques that minimize scan times and improve quality.
- Comfortably accommodate large patients in the 70 cm wide bore.
- Capacity to perform non-invasive prostate imaging.
- Accredited MRI by ACR (American College of Radiology), including MRI breast imaging.
Adventist Health Lodi Memorial often uses MRI imaging applications for:
- Breast
- Abdominal
- Neurological
- Cardiac
- Chest
- Spine
- Peripheral
- Joint
- Prostate (non-invasive)
Local board-certified radiologists interpret all our MRI exams. Trust MRI technologists who are all certified with the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists and have completed MRI specialty training required to become MRI-certified. To keep our MRI machine functioning at peak condition for your imaging needs, a specialized physicist inspects all equipment annually.
