Accurate diagnosis of neurological, musculoskeletal, cardiovascular and oncological conditions is now simple with magnetic resonance imaging, shortly termed MRI. This procedure gives detailed images of the human body from any angle. MRI services are available at HealthQuest, a leading multi-specialty healthcare center located in Brooklyn, New York, providing magnetic resonance imaging services for the Mill Basin community and other surrounding Brooklyn locations. MRI has gained immense popularity, mainly on account of the fact that it does not involve X rays or harmful radiation.

MRI – A Highly Effective Tool |
 MRI does not use ionizing radiation; instead, it utilizes 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.
Exceptional Services and Facilities
At our MRI center, 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 stress free.
