Posted on 11/6/2003
We see thousands of different images every day, but it’s life-saving images that are an important part of each day at St. Alexius Medical Center. What you’re seeing is the latest in MRI technology, located inside the Medical Center.
It helps your doctor find out what’s happening inside your body, and is especially helpful in cases of head injury or heart trouble.
Unlike other imaging services, MRI uses a powerful magnetic field…not x-rays, to create a black and white picture as it moves atoms around.
“MRI gives very detailed pictures of bones, joints and organs. The images help us make the best diagnosis possible, and may even eliminate the need for biopsy or surgery,” states Jeff Kaul, Lead MRI Technologist.
Although MRI is very advanced technology, the exam is easy and comfortable. For more information about how St. Alexius imaging services can help you, call 530-5300.
