| 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 |
