MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING (MRI)
Accredited by the American College of Radiology
MRI is one of the best imaging modalities available because of its contrast abilities between muscle, fat, vessels, tendons, ligaments, cartilage and bone.
MRI is used for diagnosing many of the following conditions:
- Breast Disorders
- Brain Disorders
- Traumatic Injuries
- Eye Abnormalities
- Spine Disease
- Liver and other Abdominal Diseases
- Knee and Shoulder Injuries
- Infections
- Musculoskeletal Disorders
- Tumor Detection
- Female Pelvic Disorders
- Facial and Neck Abnormalities
Vero Radiology also performs MR Angiography (MRA) studies to evaluate blood vessels and related conditions such as peripheral vascular disease, stroke, renal artery disease and carotid artery blockages.
We offer the GE 3T Excite HDXT high-field magnet, providing higher detail and improved diagnostic accuracy compared with lower-field systems.
