Highest Resolution Magnetic Resonance Imaging Available
 Newport
Hospital offers the most advanced Magnetic
Resonance Imaging (MRI) technology available today.
MRI uses a strong magnetic field and radiowaves to take
an image of the body, commonly of the brain, spine, joints,
abdomen or blood vessels. A physician can then look at
the three-dimensional images produced to make a diagnosis.
MRI scans show the difference between normal and damaged
or diseased tissues. The MRI scanner in the department
of diagnostic imaging at Newport Hospital is an
open design to help prevent claustrophobia in patients.
In addition, it offers the highest resolution scan available
to provide physicians with the clearest pictures to
diagnose patients. The machine's high field strength
enables superior image quality and advanced diagnostic
services.
Some MRI exams require an injection of an MRI contrast
or dye and all exams require patients to stay still
during the exam. The scan is performed inside a large
cylindrical magnet with a table in the center. Typical
MRI studies last 30-60 minutes and no special preparation
is required for the exam. A board-certified radiologist
with subspecialty training in MRI interprets all exams
at Newport Hospital.
