About MRI Scans
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses magnetism and radio waves to produce remarkably clear pictures of your head, spine and other parts of your body. It can be used as an extremely accurate method of disease detection throughout the body. Including:
- Brain aneurysms
- Stroke
- Tumors of the brain
- Tumors or inflammation of the spine
- Head injuries
An MRI scan can evaluate the structure of the heart and aorta, where it can detect aneurysms or tears. It provides valuable information on glands and organs within the abdomen, and accurate information about the structure of the joints, soft tissues, and bones of the body.
NYU Medical at Columbus is equipped with a top of the line 1.5 Tesla MRI. It is one of the fastest and most accurate MRI Systems in the New York metropolitan area.
