MRI
MRI is Magnetic Resonance Imaging. MRI is diagnostic imaging that uses a strong magnetic field and radio-frequency waves to obtain images of organs and tissues of the human body.
MRI is an outstanding imaging tool to determine pathology within brain tissue, abdomen, pelvis, spinal cord and vertebral discs, muscle, cartilage, ligaments, and orthopedic joints. It is the best imaging option for the evaluation of the tumors or any neurological abnormalities.
Our state of the art GE 1.5 T (HDI, short bore) MRI equipment offers the following benefits:
Vascular Ultrasound
Medical ultrasound (also known as diagnostic sonography or ultrasonography) is a diagnostic imaging technique based on the application of ultrasound. It is used to create an image of internal body structures such as tendons, muscles, joints, blood vessels, and internal organs. Its aim is often to find a source of a disease or to exclude pathology.
Interventional Radiology
Interventional radiology (IR) is a range of minimally-invasive radiology image-guided techniques and treatments. Our Vein Center is specializing in Spider and Varicose Vein Treatments. Our doctors are using Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLT) for varicose vein treatment, Endovenous Radiofrequency Ablation (EVRA) for varicose vein treatments, Varithena for varicose and spider veins treatment, and Sclerotherapy for varicose and spider vein treatment.
We accept many insurance plans. If you do not see your insurance listed, please call our office to confirm.
