Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
It’s clear—precision is important during diagnosis. Of all imaging technologies, MRI or Magnetic Resonance Imaging gives doctors the clearest, most precise image of the inside of the body. It’s sophisticated, and uses a strong magnetic field to show the structure and detail of organs, soft tissue and bones, which can pinpoint all types of issues from abnormalities to disease.

Has your doctor ever recommended that you get an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) exam? Or are you simply curious about this safe imaging test?
The Ingenia 1.5T S, with its 70 cm bore, is more open and less confining than 60 cm MR systems. This new MR system is not only minimally invasive, it’s minimally intimidating.
Alta Vista Regional Hospital utilizes a Philips Ingenia 1.5T S, the first-ever digital broadband MR scanner. The Philips Ingenia 1.5T S has a wide-bore opening designed to make you feel less confined. The Philips Ingenia 1.5T S can deliver the revealing images your doctor needs to help diagnose your medical condition correctly. This can make it easier for your doctor to identify and pinpoint any potential problems and helps reduce the number of repeat exams.
The open system also allows us to image patients of varying size, age, and physical condition, which means you can potentially send more of your patients for noninvasive MRIs than you may have considered before.
