Utah MRI Business's Magnetic Resonance Imaging Machinery and Diagnostics Provides Quick and Prompt Results to Injured Individuals

With the number of sports related injuries on the rise, patients are looking for a MRI diagnostics program that provides them with quick and accurate results.

South Jordan, UT (prHWY.com) July 5, 2012 - With the number of sports related injuries on the rise, patients are looking for a MRI diagnostics program that provides them with quick and accurate results. United States MRI, a Utah MRI business, uses unique magnetic resonance imaging machinery that is specialized for different types of injuries. In addition, United States MRI provides the MRI imaging diagnostics to their patients within 24 hours, so that these patients can start healing as soon as possible.

Unique MRI Machines That Type Fit the Injury

One of the beginning steps in recovering from an injury is to first be able to identify the inner cause of the injury or pain. The use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allows technicians to assesss the cause of the injury without the use of radiation. Due to the broad range of sports injuries, U.S. MRI employs an extensive variety of imaging machinery. This MRI machinery is customized to specific injuries and, as a result, imaging diagnostics can sooner become available to the patient.

The MRI diagnostics are custom fit to each patient's injury. Each machine with it's specific imaging abilities can hone in on the particular area of injury rather than scanning the entire body. One piece of equipment that U.S. MRI uses is the Extremity Machine, the first Utah MRI machine that scans only the limbs. Patients using this machine sit in a chair and place the injured limb inside the machine. Other MRI machines employed by U.S. MRI are the GE Horizon and the Functional MRI Machine. These machines have the ability to scan larger body areas and concussions.

U.S. MRI and the Increasing Concussion Crisis

One of the most common sports injuries is a concussion. According to Bob Cantu, chairman of the surgery division and director of sports medicine at Emerson Hospital in Concord Massachussetts, "What's happening in this country is an epidemic of concussions, number one, and the realization that many of these individuals are going to go on to post-concussion syndrome, which can alter their ability to function at a high level for the rest of their lives." (NBC, "Concussion crisis growing in girls' soccer"). Several who suffer a concussion ignore the syptoms and do not discover that it was a concussion until later. The effects of neglecting a concussion are drastic and can have long term damage on the brain. By going into United States MRI in Utah, patients can promptly receive imaging diagnostics regarding their concussion. Once MRI imaging diagnostics results are received, concussion patients are provided with physician reccommendations to guide the healing process.

U.S. MRI's, Utah MRI business has a custom machine for concussion patients called the Functional MRI. This piece of equipment does incredibly accurate brain scans and imaging diagnostics. This aids the MRI technicians in supplying the patients with correct results and advice regarding healing time.
