MRI We have two MRI scanners offering a wide range of services.
 
OPEN MRI - The Most Open MRI in the San Gabriel Valley
 
Our open MRI scanner has been upgraded to Philips' newest Panorama Open MRI Scanner which:
Is an open C-arm design with a side first patient entry
Can accommodate large patients
Has a patient opening which is among the largest of all open scanner designs
Has much better resolution than the older open scanners using techniques and sequences formerly possible only on high field scanners
Incorporates powerful gradients and phased array coils which allow high resolution techniques and sequences formerly possible only on high field scanners (including Fast Spin Echo, Fast IR, FLAIR, STIR, etc.)
Has a significantly more open head coil design than most systems
Removes the need for sedation for most claustrophobic patients
Reduces the incidence of repeat scans due to patient motion secondary to anxiety
Has music to help relax patients during the scan (bring your own CD!)
HIGH-FIELD MRI
Our high-field MRI is the 1.5 Tesla Eclipse MRI scanner. This High-Field, Short Bore MRI scanner has the most open design of any high-field MRI scanner in the San Gabriel Valley. Patients should experience less anxiety, and state-of-the-art engineering allows us to produce images of the highest resolution with very fast acquisition times.
We are able to visualize with great acuity, pathology of small areas including the pituitary, IACs and the optic nerves
Body scanning, (previously reserved largely for CT due to motion artifacts) has reached a new level, with scans acquired in only a few seconds during a single breath hold. We can even examine bile and pancreatic ducts for blockages (i.e., MRCP) in less than two minutes for 5 different views
MRA provides patients with a safe alternative to conventional angiography
Wrist joint and other small joint studies with superior cartilage detail are optimized on our high field scanner
We are able to provide contrast enhanced myelogram studies
MULTI-SLICE CT
Our Philips Brilliance Multi-Slice CT scanner has the following capabilities:
16-slices per revolution for large volumes and thin slices
"RapidView" - World's fastest reconstruction system keeps pace with acquisition for true real-time imaging at up to 20 images per second
"DoseWise" design delivers optimal dose efficiency without compromising imaging quality
Above all, the speed and usability of the Philips Brilliance Multi-Slice CT positively impacts patient comfort and diagnostic confidence
ULTRASOUND SYSTEM
Our Philips ATL HDI-5000 SonoCT Ultrasound system has high definition imaging, tissue harmonic imaging, color flow doppler and high definition zoom for obtaining high quality ultrasound studies of the abdomen & pelvis and vascular studies of the neck and extremities
