The list below is a representation of some of the general MRI studies we perform. These exams may be performed with or without contrast:
Head & Neck
Useful for ruling out possible structural causes of headache or cerebrovascular disease, such as TIAs and stroke, as well as the diagnosis of inflammatory and congenital diseases, tumors, and the results of trauma.
- Brain
- Pituitary
- Internal Auditory Canal (IAC)
- Soft Tissue Neck
- Temporal Mandibular Joint (TMJ)
- Orbits
Spine
Useful for the diagnosis of degenerative, intramedullary, and extramedullary disease, as well as trauma, congenital disease and lumbosacral plexus.
- Cervical Spine
- Lumbar Spine
- Thoracic Spine
Joints
Useful for the diagnosis of chronic and degenerative conditions (arthritis, tendonitis, etc.) and the results of trauma (tears, fractures, osteomyelitis, etc.).
- Shoulder
- Elbow
- Wrist
- Hip
- Knee
- Ankle
- Foot
Soft Tissue
Useful in the diagnosis of liver, gall bladder, kidney, pancreatic and endocrine diseases and tumors. MRI can also enhance the diagnosis of breast tumors, gynecological disease and prostate carcinoma.
Cardio-Vascular
Useful in the diagnosis of heart and vascular disease.
- Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA)
- Contrast-enhanced MRA
