| Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Magnetic Resonance Imaging has become one of the most powerful diagnostic tools in medicine today. MRIs are able to produce remarkably clear and detailed pictures of internal organs and other soft tissues. Sitron-Hammels affiliate, Bethpage MRI, offers state-of-the-art magnetic resonance imaging performed by meticulous, caring professionals. Using the powerful GE Hi-Field 1.5, our technologists develop crisp images that help doctors diagnose, evaluate and monitor a wide range of diseases and disorders, from sport-related injuries and joint problems to cancer, coronary diseases, and other organic dysfunction. Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA) State-of-the-Art Body Imaging Capabilities High Resolution Orthopedic Applications Phased Array Complete Spine Studies Functional Imaging Diffusion Safe, Painless and Non-Invasive Magnetic Resonance Imaging has been in use since the 1980's, and has been proven to be one of the safest diagnostic imaging methods available and completely painless. The MRI scanner uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency waves rather than ionizing radiation. The large magnet in the MRI system allows the atoms in your body to receive radio signals that are produced by another component of the MRI system. Your body then sends radio signals back to the MRI system. These signals are processed by a computer into finely detailed images. |
 High-Field MRI The GE Hi-Field 1.5 MRI produces extraordinarily detailed images, and is the ideal diagnostic tool for most applications. Patients relax in roomy, air-conditioned comfort, enjoying their favorite music while our caring, experienced staff helps ensure that the experience is both productive and stress-free. Open MRI For those few patients who find traditional MRI units too restrictive, we now have an Open MRI unit that produces excellent quality images. Although the clarity of images produced by any Open MRI is slightly less than from our High Field MRI, it is generally adequate in most diagnostic situations. |
