Detailed Imaging with a Magnetic Field

MRI 1.5 Tesla

Magnetic Resonance Imaging – 1.5T

MRI uses a magnetic field and radio waves, without X-rays, to create detailed images of many body tissues. A field strength of 1.5 tesla is widely used in clinical MRI for examinations of the brain, spine, joints, abdomen, pelvis and soft tissues.

Common Uses

MRI of the brain and nervous system
MRI of the spine and discs
MRI of joints and the musculoskeletal system
Assessment of the abdomen and pelvis when prescribed
Soft-tissue assessment and selected vascular or specialized examinations

Features of This Examination

No X-raysMRI does not use ionizing radiation.
Soft-Tissue ContrastMRI provides detailed images of many nervous-system structures, muscles, ligaments, bone marrow and other soft tissues.
Broad Clinical Use1.5T systems are widely used for many clinical MRI protocols.

What to Expect

You will lie on the MRI table, and a dedicated coil may be placed around the area being examined. The scanner makes repeated knocking sounds during imaging, and you need to remain as still as possible. Some examinations require an injection of MRI contrast material.

Preparing for Your Visit

  • Before entering MRI, report any pacemaker, ICD, implant, clip, prosthesis, metal fragment or other implanted medical device.
  • Metal objects, magnetic cards and electronic equipment must not be brought into the MRI room.
  • Food preparation and contrast requirements depend on the examination. Follow the center's instructions.
