MRI

Magnetic Resonance Imaging, MRI, produces remarkable images of the brain, spine, joints and other organs to determine the severity of patient injuries and conditions.

We Offer an Improved Patient Experience

Our MRI equipment is the GE Optima Wide Bore. It is 16% wider than traditional MRIs providing for a more comfortable experience, especially for larger individuals (up to 500 pounds) and those prone to anxiety or claustrophobia. For some exams, feet-first positioning is also available to help reduce anxiety.

Advanced Shore Imaging Associates has the ability to offer Silent Scan which is a technology that makes your scan as quiet as a whisper. Typical MRI scans can reach over 100 decibels which is equal to the sound of a jackhammer, a speeding freight train or what you would hear sitting in the front row at a rock concert. Ask your technician if Silent Scan is an option for you.

Our MRI technology reduces your total exam time and delivers a cooler, quieter scanning experience. Utilizing advanced technology and precise parameter adjustments we have some of the fastest MRI scan times that patients have ever experienced; certain routine scans can be done in about 12 minutes! We are able to offer an improved patient experience while continuing to deliver exceptional image quality for confidence in diagnosis.

MRIs are used for diagnosis of many parts of the body...

MRI imaging for the brain shows evidence of TIA's, strokes/CVA, tumors, nerve damage, cognitive impairment, visual and auditory impairments and pituitary gland disorders.

Brain

Abdominal MRI shows dysfunction or disorders involving liver, spleen, kidneys, pancreas, gallbladder and adrenal glands.

Abdomine

MRI of the Breast is used for detection of breast cancer, infection or implant rupture. We also use additional advanced CAD software after the exam is complete, for better visualization of the images.

Breasts

MRI of the pelvis also helps identify problems within the bladder, colon, prostate gland, uterus, and ovaries. Extra advanced CAD software is also used on the prostate gland for more precise diagnoses.

Pelvis

Spinal conditions are also examined using MRI. Conditions include spinal stenosis, tumors, infections, disc bulges, herniations or nerve damage.

Spine

Orthopedic doctors use MRI for many applications. It can examine bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, cartilage, arthritis, infection, hardware placement or tumors. Metal suppression techniques can be used when prothesis are placed in the area of interest.

Bones, Joints, Ligaments....

MRA and MRV's (Angiogram and Venogram) are also helpful diagnostic exams used throughout the body. These exams are helpful with diagnosing stenosis, aneurysms, blood related diseases, plaque disease and possible obstructed vessels.

Cardiovascular Systems

*Other complications can be diagnosed using MRI/MRA/MRV, but may not be listed.
