Magnetic Resonance Imaging

MRI, which stands for Magnetic Resonance Imaging, is a medical diagnostic
technique that creates images of the body using a magnetic field and radio
waves. In a short period of time, MRI has become the primary imaging
modality for diagnostic imaging from head to toe, including the brain,
spine, extremities and many types of vascular imaging.

Here at Hudson Valley Imaging, we offer our patients the latest technology
capable of superior image quality.
The new Phillips 1.5 Tesla short bore MRI, at our Hudson Valley Avenue
location, gives patients the feeling of an open MRI. And with Phillips' new
technology, scan times are cut in half without ever compromising quality or
comfort.

MRA, which stands for Magnetic Resonance Angiography, is a noninvasive
procedure concentrating more on the blood vessels of the body. It tests a
wide spectrum of normal to severely abnormal blood vessels in the head,
neck, carotids, peripheral circulation and pathology in the abdomen, aorta
and chest.

At our Devitt's location, the open MRI has a clear, unobstructed space to
make your examination a more pleasant experience. You can see and talk to
our imaging personnel or hold hands with a loved one for reassurance during
the exam; a particular benefit for pediatric and geriatric patients,
individuals who feel claustrophobic or are larger than average. Our patients
rate this technology very highly for comfort, speed and efficiency.

For added comfort, each patient is able to listen to a wide variety of music
at the same time having constant communication with our technologist.

With our quick and friendly registration and the utmost in privacy, we
promise your experience will be an excellent one.
