WESTIMAGE is proud to have two scanners at its center, the
1.5T and the 3.0T. Most out-patient centers only have one scanner
available. WESTIMAGE scanners have larger openings and a
shorter bore. The well-lit, vented design allows patients to feel
more comfortable.
At WESTIMAGE we are able to do many advanced MRI and MRA
scans. For example, WESTIMAGE is capable of doing MRS, which is a MR2
spectroscopy scan. Spectroscopy is usually ordered to evaluate a
tumor or mass in the brain. It is a quantitative method of display of
non-aqueous signals that correspond to certain biological molecules of the
brain.
WESTIMAGE also performs Functional MRI Scans. This is
done to visualize brain function. fMRI can be used to find out what
the brain is doing when a subject performs a specific task or is exposed to
specific stimuli. For example a patient is given a noun and ask to
think of a verb or may be asked to squeeze a ball.
WESTIMAGE provides optimal diagnostic capabilities to
assess the brain, spine, prostate, breast, abdomen, pelvis, as well as
orthopedic procedures on the elbow, wrist, hip and ankle. Our
sophisticated MR uses computers and magnetic fields, rather than x-rays, to
capture images of the human body with amazing clarity and detail.
Regardless of the challenges you face, WESTIMAGE will help you receive the
highest quality services available.
WESTIMAGE also has PACS (Picture Archive Communicating
System.) Through PACS your scans are stored on the WESTIMAGE Web
Server and can be viewed by your doctor on his or her personal computer,
anywhere.
At WESTIMAGE, MR Imaging capabilities are limited only by
ones imagination.
