Magnetic Resonance Imaging or MRI is used to provide detailed images of the human body in any angle. It is very useful in neurological, musculoskeletal, cardiovascular and oncological imaging. MRI uses radio and magnetic waves, instead of x-rays and harmful radiation. An MRI scanner can take pictures of all the tissues in the body. HealthQuest is a leading multi-faceted healthcare center located in Brooklyn, New York, providing magnetic resonance imaging facility in Mill Basin and surrounding locations. MRI does not use ionizing radiation; instead, this technique uses a magnetic field which aligns the hydrogen atoms in the body. Radio waves alter the alignment and cause the hydrogen atoms to form a rotating magnetic field, which is detected by the scanner. This helps in the formation of an image of the body. An MRI scan is useful in detecting metabolic disorders, stroke, tumors, heart problems, disorders of the muscles and joints, sports injuries affecting the knee, hip, elbow, wrist and shoulders. MRI scans are not harmful; and the procedure is a safe and painless one. We conduct MRI examinations on an outpatient basis. During an MRI scan, the patient will be moved into the MRI unit in a comfortable manner. The MRI scanner we use has more space, and a wide gantry opening to avoid claustrophobia. The magnetic resonance imaging process lasts for about 20 - 30 minutes. The physicians and technologists at HealthQuest are well experienced, and help the patients to remain free from anxiety.
