MRI 1.5 TESLA AVANTO ADVANCED SOFTWARE SCANNER PROVIDES EXCELLENT IMAGE QUALITY IN ADDITION TO SHORT SCAN TIME.

INTRODUCTION:

MRI Scanners use strong magnetic fields, magnetic field gradients, and radio waves to generate images of the organs in the body.

MRI does not involve X - Rays or the use of ionizing radiation

MRI PLAIN AND CONTRAST STUDIES ARE DONE AS PER MEDICAL INDICATIONS.

MRI brain can be used to detect brain tumors, traumatic brain injury, developmental anomalies,multiple sclersis,stroke,dementia, infection, and the causes of headache.

MRI brain is the investigation of choice for neurological cancers.

MRI Spine - Complete or Region Wise for spine conditions

CT- COMPUTERIZED TOMOGRAPHY

DUAL SLICE CT SCANNER AT MAGNUS DIAGNOSTIC

Dual Slice CT scanner which can perform whole body scans

INTRODUCTION:

CT SCAN makes use of computer-processed combinations of many X-ray measurements taken from different angles to produce cross-sectional (tomographic) images (virtual "slices") of specific areas of a scanned object, allowing the user to see inside the object without cutting.

COMMON MEDICAL INDICATIONS OF CT SCAN
