Types of Scanners

The type of scan you have may determine which scanner will be used for the procedure. Depending on the area to be scanned, history, and symptoms, you may be encouraged to have your study on a "high-field" scanner. Our highly trained schedulers will determine which scanner best provides the quality pictures needed to diagnose and treat your illness.

You can now listen to music while lying comfortably on the table. You can choose from our variety of CDs or bring a tape or CD of your own. There is also two-way communication between the patient and technologist throughout the scan over the same headset that the patient hears the music.
