3T Tesla MRI

Our MAGNETOM Verio 3T MRI delivers the most accurate results available anywhere. When you need an MRI, your future health can depend on the clarity and detail of an image. Our 3T MRI is twice as powerful as a standard 1.5 MRI, making it easier for our expert radiologists to analyze the image and accurately diagnose your condition.

The MAGNETOM Verio MRI offers excellent image quality and diagnostic capabilities, along with exceptional patient comfort, thanks to a large 70-cm opening. With one foot of spacious headroom, patients will feel noticeably farther away from the top of the magnet.

Tight confines of older MRIs are no longer an issue with the 3T MRI. The system’s large opening is wide enough to accommodate a diverse array of patients, including those who have traditionally been hard to image, such as children, larger patients, the elderly and patients with claustrophobia. In addition, the technology of our 3T makes patient repositioning virtually unnecessary because this magnet provides motion correction, compensating for patient movement, and reduces the need to repeat scans.  This allows for increased speed for most MRI exams.
