US MRI Reveals State of the Art Extremity Scanner in their South Jordan, Utah Office

Since the beginnings of MRI technology, patients have had to lie completely still in a body-encompassing tube.

Utah, UT (prHWY.com) July 26, 2012 - Since the beginnings of MRI technology, patients have had to lie completely still in a body-encompassing tube. The process has remained the same, whether it is a brain scan or a foot scan being produced. US MRI now has new technology that allows patients to relax in comfortable chairs while specific extremities are examined. This new technology is also opening the door for more versatile MRI scanner designs for better brain and body scans.

State of the Art Scan Technology

The extremity machine, The Optima MR430s 1.5T by GE, utilizes all the latest technology to give the same level of scans as larger machines. With the same strength magnetic field as larger tube machines, this extremity scanner can produce the same quality scans. For patients in need of a foot, knee or arm scan, this new extremity MRI scanner is ideal. This scanner provides doctors with a clear MRI result on the injured foot or other extremity, enabling better diagnosis and treatment.

Comfort and Ease for Doctors and Patients

Patients are much more at ease in a comfortable chair than laying board-stiff in a full-body tube for hours. When a patient has experienced a traumatic foot, knee or shoulder injury, it is important for their injured extremity to be handled with utmost care. The extremity scanner makes this easier for the doctor to complete the MRI process. It also makes the MRI process painless for the patient. This extremity MRI machine is also paving the way for revolutionary new brain scanning techniques and more patient-friendly MRI equipment across the board.
