All Florida Orthopaedic Associates provides patients with an alternative to being
placed in a narrow tube for an extended period of time. No more cramped, noisy, and
uncomfortable MRI examinations are necessary. Our "Open" MRI system makes it possible
for our patients to be examined in comfort while not compromising image quality or clinical
performance. The result? Earlier diagnosis leading to a better outcome.
You'll find our open-design system really is the light that ends the MRI tunnel for patients who cannot tolerate being confined. This important difference means you can feel confident in your doctor's diagnostic recommendation - without feeling uneasy about the procedure. And because it is located in our facility, scheduling is quick and simple. |

| How It Works | ||
|
|
||
|
MRI uses a magnetic field and radio waves to cause body tissues in the area being
scanned to send out timy radio signals. Each type of tissue sends out a different
signal. When the system converts these signals into a computerized image, the result
is a clear "picture" of the area your doctor needs to see without exposure to
potentially harmful X-rays. MRI can lead to early detection and treatment of disease
and, in many instances, eliminate the need for more risky procedures such as exploratory
surgery or biopsy.
This makes the MRI one of the most useful tools physicians have to make an accurate diagnosis and select an appropriate treatment for their patients. |
