What does an MRI scanner look like?
MRI Plus has a GE Signa Excite system. While having an MRI scan, you will be comfortably positioned on the table, usually on your back, with a small cushion under your knees. The table lifts up and slides into a cylindrical-shaped tube that is kept open at both ends during your entire scan. The part of the body being scanned will be positioned in the center of the tube, which is very well lit.
We have four “high field,” state-of-the-art, scanners. While having an MRI scan, you will be comfortably positioned on the table, usually on your back, with a small cushion under your knees. The table lifts up and slides into a cylindrical shaped tube that is kept open at both ends during your entire scan. Your head is very near one end and your feet are very near, or out, the other.

St-Joseph MRI Clinic has a state-of-the-art Siemens Magneton Symphony scanner.

Image One MRI Clinic has a GE Signa Infinity system (as shown above), which has a dual-flared bore that is shorter and wider, providing greater comfort for our patients. While having an MRI scan, you will be comfortably positioned on the table, usually on your back, with a small cushion under your knees. The table lifts up and slides into a cylindrical shaped tube that is open at both ends during your entire scan. Your head is very near one end and your feet are very near, or out, the other.

We also have a state-of-the-art “open” scanner. The “high field” MRI will scan faster than the “Open” scanner because of magnet size but both produce images of comparable quality.
