Our 1.5 Tesla MRI has found its home in our brand new hospital! Things are coming together nicely as we finish up some of the details within the MRI treatment room. What is an MRI? An MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) is a medical imaging technique that uses a magnetic field and computer-generated radio waves to create detailed, high-quality images of the organs and tissues.
