MRI – Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Getting an MRI at ODI in Newark, NJ
During an MRI examination, a strong magnetic field captures detailed images of the bodyÔÇÖs internal organs, tissues, and the skeletal system, so your doctor can identify and diagnose otherwise hidden medical conditions through a non-invasive procedure. An MRI usually follows a physical exam when further investigation is required. A CT scan, Ultrasound, or X-Ray may also be needed to provide your doctor with the complete picture.
Optimum Diagnostic Imaging operates a 1.5 Tesla Siemens Symphony MRI machine, a top of the line MRI unit. This closed MRI machine completes scans 66% faster than other machines, providing super quality MRI images and a comfortable experience.
