San Francisco MRI is Famous For Its Views Too!

Sports Medicine MRI

 

The newer, faster, best,
high-field, extremity-MRI in America.

San Francisco's Sports Medicine MRI is pleased to announce a breakthrough in MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) technology. The OrthOne MRI® is a dedicated peripheral joint MRI system that allows imaging of feet, ankles, knees, hands, wrists and elbows. The unique architecture of this device does not require that the patient be placed within the confines of an MRI magnet; only the extremity to be imaged is placed inside the device while the patient rests comfortably in a padded chair. This MRI system permits imaging of those patients who would otherwise be unable to undergo a high-field strength examination. This scanner has new software that has been optimized for visualizing cartilage and ligament injuries.
