MRI 1.5T and 3T

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is the most advanced diagnostic imaging procedure today. It is also one of the safest and most comfortable imaging techniques. MRI creates detailed images of internal bodily structures without the use of ionized radiation (x-rays). It produces these detailed images through a powerful electromagnet, radiowaves and a computer to generate images of the soft tissue of the body. MRI is more sensitive than other imaging techniques in the detection and characterization of various diseases such as:

• Brain tumors, strokes, and chronic disorders of the nervous system such as multiple sclerosis, among others.
• Coronary heart disease and other cardiac pathologies
• Spinal and joint problems. MRI is used to diagnose sport-related injuries, the images detect very small tears and injuries to ligaments, tendons and muscles.
• Functional disorders in organs of the chest, abdomen, including lungs, liver, kidneys, spleen and pancreas.
• Disorders of male and female reproductive systems including pelvis, hips and bladder

UMIH offers the latest technology in Magnetic Resonance Imaging. With our 3 Tesla in Beverly Hills and 1.5 Tesla in Huntington Beach, our scanner generates a magnetic field that is twice the strength of other machines with 10 to 15 times the strength. The magnetic field produced by our 3Tesla and 1.5 MRI Systems yields exceptional anatomic detail. Thus, at UMI a picture is worth a thousand words.
