MRI in Bergen and Passaic County
An MRI is a form of diagnostic medical imaging that utilizes a very large magnet along with radio waves to create cross-sectional images of your internal tissues.
MRI is able to create incredibly accurate images while being totally harmless and non-invasive to the person receiving it. It does not utilize radiation like other forms of imaging, making it 100% safe for use with most people.
How Does an MRI Work?
An MRI is noninvasive and usually requires nothing on the part of the patient aside from switching into a hospital gown and lying still. However, in some cases, the patient may be injected with a special dye for contrast MRIs to help better illuminate an internal organ that's being scanned in the procedure.
Once the patient lies on the bed, they will be moved into the machine, which is a completely open space. Those who have issues with claustrophobia will love the Open MRI machine that we have. It is the most quiet and most comfortable Open MRI machine in the world. All conveniently located in Paramus, NJ.
WHAT CAN AN MRI IDENTIFY?
MRI can provide highly detailed images of vital organs, muscles, and other soft tissues. Bone does not provide the necessary signal, so they appear as black areas around the soft tissues.
Because of these detailed images, MRI can detect detailed abnormalities in the brain such as stroke, tumors, or infection.
TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE GETTING AN MRI
It can also easily detect issues pertaining to cardiovascular health as well as the nervous system such as spinal problems and various forms of venous disease. MRI should not, however, be used to identify issues with those who are currently using pacemakers, insulin pumps, cochlear implants, or have metal placed somewhere in their body to avoid complications with the device.
