WHAT IS OPEN MRI
YOUR BEST MRI IS WIDE OPEN

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is an exciting advancement in the area of medical diagnosis. Through the use of a magnet and radio waves similar to AM/FM radio, MRI makes it possible for doctors to see detailed images of the internal structures of the body. This technique provides doctors with a higher degree of diagnostic accuracy than ever before --- without exposure to potentially harmful X-rays. MRI can lead to early detection and treatment of disease and, in many instances, eliminate the need for more risky procedures such as exploratory surgery or biopsy.
