Stand-Up MRI is one of the most accurate methods of diagnostic imaging available today. Stand-UpMRI enables your physician to view the human body without use x-ray or invasive procedures and obtain precise diagnostic information.
Stand-Up MRI utilizes a strong magnatic field and radio frequency waves to construct a computer image. The image is then printed on a spicial film that is reviewed by a radiologist.
For some MRI procedures contrast media, commonly refrred to as dye , is sometimes given intravenously during certain scans to provide the physicians with additional information.
An Stand-Up MRI differs from a traditional MRI in that it :
- Provides a more relaxed, less confining environment than traditional MRI
- Lower noise levels. Stand-Up MRI systems produce less knocking noise compared to traditional MRI systems
- Positional imaging can be utilized to more effeciently diagnose problems.
Afriend or family member can be in the room during your procedure provided they do not have any contraindications to the MRI scanner. Your friend or family member will be subject to the same safety screening process as required for you.
