Our Scanners

MRI Scan & Imaging Centers has a full range of MRI scanners available. We are the only facility in South Florida to offer every modality of MRI scanning including mid-field, high-field, and open scanners. MRI Scan & Imaging Centers is a multi-diagnostic center housing Ultrasound, CT Scanning, and PET (Positron Emission Tomography), Bone Density and Nuclear Medicine.

OPEN MRI SCANNERS:

The MRI Scan & Imaging Centers offer two open scanners including the Siemens Open. Both have advanced hardware and software options. The Siemens Open scanner is conveniently located in Fort Lauderdale, FL. This state-of-the-art scanner offers a wide range of scanning capabilities while allowing the patient to feel comfortable without the closed-in feeling.

SIEMENS VISION HIGH FIELD SCANNER:

The Siemens Vision 1.5 is a powerful scanner with the strongest Gradient Strength and most advanced applications. This scanner is especially useful for advanced imaging known as MRA (Magnetic Resonance Angiography). MRA is a procedure that allows us to view blood flow throughout the entire body. MRA is a safe and painless alternative to conventional X-Ray Angiography, which is expensive, invasive, uses ionizing radiation, and is a lengthy procedure that requires the injection of a dye into the patient's bloodstream. The conventional X-Ray Angiogram is inherently risky, while and MRA is safe and painless. In addition to viewing blood flow, this equipment provides the most detailed evaluation of the brain, spine, and extremities available today. We also have the capability of performing MR Cholangiopancreatography (a non-invasive method for evaluating the pancreas and gall bladder), Breath Hold Abdominal Imaging (for motion free images of the abdomen), CSF Flow Studies (allowing quantitative analysis of Cerebrospinal Fluid dynamics), Diffusion (the earliest detection of stroke detection available), and Perfusion Imaging (to aid in lesion characterization).

MOBILE MRI SCANNER:

MRI Scan & Imaging Centers received delivery of the first mobile MRI scanner in Florida in 1986. The same expertise we provide on-site can be made available to individuals who cannot access any of our South Florida locations. Our specially trained mobile imaging professionals can bring state-of-the-art mobile equipment to physician offices, clinics, hospitals, and other medical treatment centers that do not have on-site MRI capabilities. Contact our Mobile-Scan Director to arrange for our Mobile MRI services.
