MRI

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) produces three-dimensional pictures of organs and tissues by measuring the energy released when a patient is exposed to radio waves in a strong magnetic field.

MRI gives physicians both structural and functional information about internal organs.

Breast MRI is used as a supplemental tool to mammography and ultrasound for detecting and staging breast cancer.

To accommodate patients who suffer from claustrophobia FirstHealth has an "open" MRI scanner that is much less confining.
