Riverside Imaging Specialists is proud to offer…
“HFO” or High-Field Open MRI!
Comfort and Quality…
Our Philips High Field Open Panorama – 1.0 Tesla MRI is a major step forward in modern diagnostic technology using a superconducting magnet, computer and superior coil technologies.
This 1.0 “HFO” or high field open unit acquires images comparable to 1.5 Tesla closed high field MRI, yet in a completely open environment that accommodates extra-large, high anxiety and claustrophobic patients. We are able to offer a roomy 360-degree open view, 160 cm wide aperture offering triple the average space of classic MRI units, so positioning is optimized. Additionally, the Philips HFO can accept patients weighing up to 550 lbs.
Many advanced MRI studies are also available in the new HFO-MRI:
- MR Angiography (no iodine for a safer more patient friendly study)
- Brain
- Carotids
- Aorta
- Kidneys
- Peripheral Run-offs of the Lower Extremities
- Dynamic imaging of the Pelvis / Abdomen
- MRCP
- Liver
- High Resolution exams of Brain, Spine, Joints and Extremities and various other orthopedic studies
Riverside Imaging Specialists also offers…
Advanced Computed Tomography – CT (CAT Scans)
The popular GE Lightspeed CT scanner is available on a same day schedule basis, pending insurance requirements. Unlike many hospital CT scanners, Riverside Imaging Specialists can serve the same day needs of referring physicians in a comfortable, more peaceful, patient-supportive environment. With advanced CT, many exams take less time to complete than the time required to screen the patient. Our CT unit allows a minimal amount of radiation and 3D imaging. Patients are amazed with our quick service and appreciate the ease of the comfortable and accessible outpatient setting. Physicians appreciate our quick turnaround and accuracy of reports enabling a timely diagnosis.
