hi-field 1.5T MRI & open MRI
As MRI experts, we offer the fastest diagnostic magnetic resonance imaging technology available.
AMDS+ RADIOLOGY offers state-of-the-art technology with the Siemens Hi-Field 1.5T and GE Open MRI units in Staten Island, NY. The Open MRI is the preferred choice for claustrophobic studies.
Utilizing shorter scan times, our units maximize patient comfort without compromising quality. The superb reliability of high-field MRI allows our board-certified radiologists to differentiate between benign and potentially hazardous medical conditions with confidence. This allows your healthcare team to provide you with earlier diagnosis and treatment, subsequently leading to more positive outcomes.
Insurance companies pay the same amount for an MRI, regardless of whether your exam is performed on a low-field or high-field magnet. Don’t compromise your health with a lower-strength magnet. Take advantage of the state-of-the-art technology and friendly atmosphere at our imaging facility.
