A comfortable, detailed scan designed around you

An MRI scan uses powerful magnets and radio waves to create detailed, cross-sectional images of your body. During the exam, you’ll lie comfortably on a padded table that moves slowly through the MRI system as it captures precise images of the area being studied. The scan is completely non-invasive and does not use any radiation. In some cases, a contrast agent may be used to highlight specific tissues or structures, but it’s not required for most exams.

MRI exams typically take 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the area being scanned. Throughout the exam, your technologist will stay in constant communication to ensure your comfort, answer questions, and guide you through each step.

Advanced MRI systems provide faster scans and sharper images—giving you a more comfortable experience with exceptional detail and clarity.


3x higher detection rate

MRI can identify certain soft-tissue abnormalities up to three times more accurately than other imaging methods, improving early diagnosis and treatment planning.

94% diagnostic confidence

Studies show MRI provides over 90% accuracy in diagnosing brain, spine, and musculoskeletal conditions—offering clearer answers when precision matters most.

0 radiation exposure

MRI uses magnetic fields and radio waves instead of radiation, making it a safe, repeatable option for both initial exams and ongoing follow-up imaging.

Is an MRI right for you?

MRI is one of the most versatile and informative imaging tools available today. It’s often recommended when doctors need a clearer look at soft tissues, the brain, spine, joints, or internal organs to better understand symptoms or confirm a diagnosis.

MRI helps patients and providers move forward with clarity, confidence, and peace of mind. A healthcare provider can help determine whether MRI is right for you based on your symptoms, medical history, and specific diagnostic needs. You may benefit from an MRI if you have any of the following:

  1. Have pain, swelling, or injury that hasn’t been explained by other imaging tests
  2. Are experiencing neurological symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, or vision changes
  3. Need to evaluate joint or spine issues like arthritis, disc problems, or sports injuries
  4. Require imaging to monitor treatment or healing after surgery, injury, or therapy
  5. Have a known condition that needs precise follow-up, such as a tumor or chronic disease

I had an ultrasound of the lymph nodes and thyroid of my neck, as well as an MRI of my brain on the same day. Both the ultrasound technicians and the MRI technicians were absolutely wonderful. They were just as personable as they were professional, and made me feel completely at ease and comfortable while undergoing both procedures.

Extremely busy office. Very efficient on moving patients in and out. I had 2 tests bone density, and lung scan the technicians were very speedy.

Yes. A healthcare provider’s order is required to ensure the scan is appropriate for your condition and to guide how the images will be used in your care plan.

Most MRI scans take between 10 and 20 minutes, depending on the area being studied. You’ll be in constant communication with your technologist throughout the scan to ensure comfort.

MRI can reveal soft-tissue injuries, tumors, inflammation, and other changes that may not be visible on X-ray or CT. It’s often used to evaluate the brain, spine, joints, and internal organs in high detail.

In some cases, a contrast agent is used to highlight certain tissues or blood vessels. Your doctor will determine if it’s necessary based on your condition and medical history.

Yes. MRI uses magnetic fields and radio waves, not radiation making it a safe, non-invasive imaging method suitable for most patients.

Your technologist will be in constant contact during the scan and can pause at any time if you need a break. Many patients find comfort with music or relaxation techniques during the exam.

Most people can safely have an MRI, but those with certain implants, pacemakers, or metal fragments may not be eligible. Your doctor and technologist will review your medical history to ensure it’s safe for you.

A radiologist specializing in MRI will review your images and share the findings with your referring provider, who will explain your results and discuss next steps in your care.
