High-Field MRIs
At Advantage Diagnostic & MRI, we use high-field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MRI images are formed using strong magnetic fields and radio waves. They are interpreted using computer software that generates images of soft tissue in the body. Depending on the contrast level, you can see different characteristics. A contrast agent may be used to enhance the images.
The time it takes for an MRI depends on the kind of image your doctor needs. It's important that you relax and stay as still during your exam. Many patients fall nap during this time. A technologist will always be able to see you, and an intercom is built into the machine in case you need anything.
How MRI Helps Your Doctor

It's a non-invasive procedure, and there are no known side or after-effects. You won't see or feel anything. You'll hear a knocking sound, but that's simply the sound of the MRI machine.
There are many benefits to MRIs. It is quick and accurate, and new uses are being found through ongoing research. It can reduce the need for additional or invasive procedures. It is currently used in all parts of the body and can help evaluate a variety of conditions.
