High field Signa model magnetic resonance imaging (1.5 Tesla).

The machinery we have at our disposal (GENERAL ELECTRIC Signa Creator 1.5 T full digital), is able to offer increasingly precise and detailed images. The technological innovations of this machine were developed with the comfort of the patient in mind who, thanks to a greater diameter of the Gantry (tube) obtained by using coils integrated into the sliding bed, will see the feeling of discomfort that is sometimes present limited, especially in claustrophobic people. or overweight. It is also equipped with a lighting and music listening system which guarantees a more pleasant stay on the table during the exam.

Resonance function

MRI was originally developed to study the central nervous system but is now used to effectively analyze all body systems and systems. It is in fact useful for studying and detecting inflammation, infections, tumors, problems related to trauma or musculoskeletal degeneration.
Magnetic resonance imaging, therefore, is often complementary or substitute to CT scan, based on the patient's needs and conditions.
