Patients who find conventional closed MRIs difficult to tolerate no longer have to sacrifice the quality of their images! Hudson Valley Radiology Associates now offers High-Field, Wide-Bore MRI, which is ideal for larger individuals or those with claustrophobia. At 1.5 Tesla, the new MRI offers the power of high-strength magnets, while offering a wide entry point that is also short, so that patients who tend to become claustrophobic or who may not fit comfortably in a traditional MRI unit can be accommodated. The unit allows patients both more room and a more spacious field of view.

This new technology is NOW available at HVRA of Inter-County in Yonkers, as well as Mid-Rockland Imaging in New City.

Benefits of 1.5T High-Field Wide-Bore MRI include:

• 70 cm bore diameter provides 10” more anterior space compared to traditional open MRIs.
• Short 45” bore length is half the size of a standard MRI. With only 22.5” to the center of the magnet, the patient’s head can remain outside the machine while performing mid-body exams.
• Most studies can be performed feet first, offering patients an unobstructed view and a more comfortable imaging experience.
• Wide bore design accommodates larger individuals and those prone to claustrophobia (max. 500 lbs).
• 1.5T high-field strength delivers faster scan times and exquisite image quality.
• Ability to perform non-contrast enhanced Renal MR angiography (MRA) for patients with poor kidney function or on dialysis.
