3T MRI NOW OPEN at Rouse Hill Medical Imaging

Tesla (T) is the unit of measurement quantifying the strength of a magnetic field.  Most MRI machines generate a magnetic field strength of 1.5 Tesla, however new developments have allowed for this to be doubled, and at Rouse Hill Medical Imaging we have just installed a GE 3T MRI.

What are the benefits of a 3T MRI?

The magnetic field produced by using 3T yields exceptional anatomic detail.  Thus, if a picture is worth a thousand words, the 3 Tesla MRI is an encyclopedia.  The increased image clarity revealed by 3T is particularly beneficial for pathological conditions involving the brain, spine, and musculoskeletal system.
