For Physicians
Advantages of Open MRI –
The advantages of High-Field MRI are higher picture resolution, fast scans, and the ability to visualize physiological processes.
For studies where exceptionally fine anatomical detail and clarity is required, such as in imaging the brain, High-Field MRI is usually the physician's choice.
Pet Scan Imaging
A PET scan uses radiation, or nuclear medicine imaging, to produce 3-dimensional, color images of the functional processes within the human body.
PET stands for positron emission tomography. The machine detects pairs of gamma rays, which are emitted indirectly by a tracer, (positron-emitting radionuclide), which is placed in the body on a biologically active molecule. The images are reconstructed by computer analysis. We also use a CT scan to increase the exams accuracy, which is performed on the patient at the same time in the same machine.
