Advanced Imaging Services
Digital and film imaging is often a critical part of patient care, and SMRC is continually working to build on our facilities to keep up with new technologies and deliver the best diagnostics to our doctors and patients.Among our recent acquisitions:
●A permanent MRI machine, the Siemens MAGNETOM (tm) Espree 1.5 Tesla Open Bore MRI, which is housed in an 1,800 square foot building newly added to the north side of the facility. The Espree MRI, with a bore opening of 70 cm (over two feet in diameter) and a table capacity of handling 550 pounds is the only 1.5 Tesla MRI system that provides enough room for obese patients and provides a comfortable experience for those who experience claustrophobia.
●A 4-D Ultrasound machine, the state-of-the-art in ultrasound imaging, and a digital mammography system, the latest technology in breast imagery. Both systems complete the department's quest to function as a totally digital unit and greatly enhance our imaging services.
First Impressions 4-D Ultrasound is the newest of our services and will allow expectant parents the opportunity to see what their baby will look like before he or she is even born. Download
