High-Field 1.5T MRI — Precision Imaging with AI Analysis

Yes. MRI uses magnets and radio waves — no radiation. It's one of the safest imaging techniques available. However, the strong magnetic field means people with certain metal implants or devices may not be eligible. Our team will screen you thoroughly before the exam.

Most MRI exams take 30–60 minutes. Some complex studies with contrast may take up to 90 minutes. We'll give you a time estimate when you schedule.

We understand MRI anxiety. Our wide-bore MRI provides extra space, and we offer music during your scan. If you're very anxious, we also have an Open MRI option, or your doctor may prescribe a mild sedative.

NeuroQuant is FDA-cleared AI software by Cortechs.ai that automatically measures the volume of brain structures — like the hippocampus — and compares them to age-matched norms. It helps detect early signs of neurodegeneration, Alzheimer's disease, and other brain conditions. It runs automatically on qualifying brain MRI studies.

OnQ Prostate is AI software that assists our radiologists in analyzing prostate MRI studies. It generates structured reports and highlights areas of concern, improving consistency and diagnostic accuracy for prostate cancer detection and staging.

For some exams, we inject a small amount of gadolinium-based contrast through an IV. This helps highlight certain structures like blood vessels, tumors, or inflammation. It's very safe — serious reactions are extremely rare.

MRI is generally considered safe during pregnancy (no radiation), but we typically avoid it during the first trimester unless medically necessary. Always inform us if you are or might be pregnant.

Most insurance plans cover medically necessary MRI exams with a physician's order. We'll verify your benefits before your appointment. Self-pay pricing is also available — call (727) 398-5999 for details.
