Magnetic resonance imaging provides detailed images of the interior structure of the human body with the aid of radio waves, magnetic fields and computer. Located in Brooklyn, New York, HealthQuest is a multi-specialty healthcare center that provide high quality medical imaging services. More specifically we offer magnetic resonance imaging services in Gravesend as well. MRI furnishes more information than X-rays, CT scans or ultrasound scans, and is a non-invasive and painless imaging technique. Our magnetic resonance imaging equipment utilizes innovative technology for producing high resolution images. This scanner is the latest model with a wide gantry opening, which effectively reduces the claustrophobic effect. Our MRI suite helps patients to relax. Physicians may prescribe MRI scans to diagnose musculoskeletal diseases, brain tumors, heart problems, diseases of the liver, abdomen, and pelvis, breast cancer, spine disorders, blockage in blood vessels, and abnormalities of the eye and neck. An MRI scan is also useful in evaluating injuries to the shoulders, elbow, hip, knee, and ankle. You will be asked to remove any metallic substance such as jewelry, hair pins, coins and other objects that are on your body, before undergoing the magnetic resonance imaging procedure at HealthQuest. You must inform our physicians if you are pregnant, or if you have any metallic implants such as pacemaker, artificial heart valve, surgical staples, etc in your body. The scanning process will take about 20 to 30 minutes. Trained radiologists at our medical center will interpret the images, and then send a detailed report to the concerned physician, who would advise an adequate treatment plan depending on the results of the scan reports. MRI is free from ionizing radiation and is a safe procedure. Skilled professionals at HealthQuest are dedicated to providing quality treatment and care to the Gravesend community, in a comfortable environment.
