MRI


Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a modality that utilizes a magnetic field instead of radiation. This sophisticated technology is primarily used to obtain images of soft tissue structures that may not be seen on X-rays. LivingWell Radiology utilizes a 1.5T High-Field MRI scanner. Contrary to other units in our region, our Siemens 1.5 MRI offers the most spacious opening and very fast scan times to enhance patient comfort.

This sophisticated technology is primarily used to obtain images of soft tissue structures that may not be seen on X-rays. LivingWell Radiology utilizes a 1.5T High-Field MRI scanner. Contrary to older MRI units, the MRI scanner at LWR features an ultra-short tunnel and wide bore opening to enhance patient comfort.



Magnetic resonance imaging is a technique that uses a magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed images of the organs and tissues within your body. Most MRI machines are large, tube-shaped magnets. When you lie inside the machine, the magnetic field temporarily realigns hydrogen atoms in your body. Radio waves cause these aligned atoms to produce very faint signals, which are used to create cross-sectional images — like slices in a loaf of bread. The machine can also be used to produce 3-D images that may be viewed from many different angles. MRI is a noninvasive way for your doctor to examine your organs, tissues and skeletal system. It produces high-resolution images of the inside of the body that help diagnose a variety of problems.
