The MSK Extreme® is a comfortable, non-threatening, non-claustrophobic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) unit. The extremity MRI scans while the patient reclines in a comfortable chair with only the injured part of the body inside the magnet.
The MSK Extreme® offers:
An open design - only the affected extremity (arm or leg) goes inside the bore.
A more comfortable setting for children, eliminating the need for sedation sometimes needed during full-body MRI scans.
An ideal alternative for claustrophobic, obese and elderly patients.
Quieter than a full-body MRI unit.
An adjustable, reclining chair.
Cinema Vision available for patents' DVD entertainment.
Extreme Quality
The MSK Extreme® is a 1.5T high-field, dedicated extremity MRI and is five times more powerful than any competing low-field extremity MRI on the market, yielding images of extraordinary quality.
The extremity MRI unit works well for high-definition images of hands, fingers, elbows, wrists, knees, feet and ankles. The MSK Extreme® delivers the same image quality as a full-body MRI unit and is designed specifically for orthopedic imaging.
Extremity MRI is available at the Advanced Imaging Center - Leigh. Convenient hours include evenings and weekends. Call (757) 261-0800 for more information.
