Advantages of high field diagnostic equipment
- central and peripheral nervous system (encephalon and spinal cord)
- abdominal organs
- pelvic organs, in particular prostate and female gynecological apparatus
Performance of magnetic resonance examination
The latest generation of MRI equipment is designed for maximum patient comfort. The size of the tunnel and its brightness allow those undergoing the examination excellent visibility to the outside, eliminating or reducing any problems of claustrophobia.
