Colmar Imaging offers both High-Field and OPEN MRI
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
MRI is a non-invasive, sophisticated diagnostic imaging
technique that uses a large magnet radio waves and a computer
to produce images of the dedicated body part that we are scanning.
It gives the physician the ability to see detailed images
of your anatomy. There is no radiation involved in a MRI examination.
Certain types of MRI exams require the use of a safe paramagnet
agent (contrast media). The contrast media, which is given
intravenously during the exam, highlights the area of concern.
Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA)
MR Angiography is a specialized study of the blood
vessels. The images are produced in a two and three dimensional
format to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of stroke and
other blood vessel diseases. Many times a contract media is
used to enhance these images.
Office Staff
Our clerical staff is a group of pleasant, hard working
individuals who are essential to our operations. Our schedulers
are well trained in a variety of MRI scans that can be ordered,
and are friendly and helpful in assisting physicians and their
staff as well as our patients in gathering appropriate information
necessary for us to determine type of scan needed, patient
safety issues, insurance information, etc. Our receptionists
greet each patient when they arrive at our Center and assist
them in working through the necessary paperwork in preparation
for their MRI scan.

All of our MRI Technologists are board certified
by the ARRT MR Registry. They are carefully trained to ensure
that our patients will receive professional and compassionate
care while providing optimal results from each MRI examination.
