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. We
