Magnetic Resonance Imaging, or “MRI”, is an advanced state of the art method which produces very clear images of the human body without the use of x-rays. Almost every part of the body can be studied with MRI in exquisite detail.
MR Angiography, or “MRA” is an excellent and accurate way to evaluate arteries and veins of the body in a non-invasive fashion.
Our “OPEN MRI” system is one of the most advanced of its kind. The benefits of our OPEN MRI are the same as our high field closed MRI. All parts of the body can be studied with this system. However, the head and neck, spine and joints are the most commonly studied parts under this modality. Because no enclosed spaces are involved, the OPEN MRI is particularly valuable for:
1. Patients who suffer from claustrophobia.
2. Overweight patients (up to 500lbs)
3. Pediatric patients.
With the addition of the Airis II OPEN MRI system, Toms River X-Ray, CT and MRI Center provides the highest quality images available today.
