Welcome to the
MRI and CT Imaging

The Imaging Center features both MRI and CT imaging modalities.  Both imaging services utilize advanced, state-of-the-art technology and equipment that is capable of imaging all areas of the body. Our new GE Scanner expands Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) from a three-dimensional modality to a true four-dimensional tool.    The Excite platform delivers the shortest pulse sequence parameters currently available. The advanced technology, produces lightning-fast pulse sequences, shorter TRs, TEs, and EPI echo spacings, which translate to a significantly better image quality.
  
Patient care and comfort are our top priority.  This is accomplished in many ways:

A open MRI scanner to ease a patient's apprehension.
Capability to scan children to adults of up to 500 pounds.
Patients may bring a CD of their choice to listen to while being scanned.
Qualified, compassionate professionals, including reception staff, technical
    staff, and radiologists.
Private, locking dressing rooms.
Plush, warm furnishings and appointments throughout the center.

In addition to high patient satisfaction, our goal is to serve the referring physicians to the highest level possible. There are several advantages to using the imaging center including:
