MRI (MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING)

MRI is a powerful tool for diagnosis of a variety of conditions. MRI utilizes a powerful magnet and radio waves rather than x-rays to take pictures of the inside of your body. In many cases the images are much more detailed than CAT scans or ultrasound.

The MRI at MidMichigan Medical Center - Gratiot is permanent, not a mobile system and is in a very open large room. Manufactured by Siemans it is one of the most advanced systems in Mid-Michigan.
