Why 3T MRI?

If a picture is worth a thousand words,

the 3 Tesla MRI is an encyclopedia.

Shin Imaging GE 3T MRIs in Los Angeles and Orange County are extremely efficient. Utilizing shorter scan times, the 3T machine maximizes patient comfort without compromising quality. The superb reliability of high-field MRI allows our board-certified radiologists to differentiate between benign and potentially hazardous medical conditions with confidence. This allows your health-care team to provide you with earlier diagnosis and treatment, subsequently leading to more positive outcomes.

​

Insurance companies pay the same amount for an MRI, regardless of whether your exam is performed on a low-field or high-field magnet. Don’t compromise your health with a lower strength magnet. Take advantage of the state-of-the-art technology and friendly atmosphere at our physician owned-and-operated facility. Choose 3T Imaging.

  • Shorter breath hold time gives less motion artifacts for older patients.

  • Definite identification of benign tumors versus malignant disorder of prostate.

  • As simple as CT with DISCO (differential Sub-sampling with Cartesian Ordering): CT-like speed but high resolution MRI contrast.

  • LAVA-Flex: water, fat, in-phase, out-of-phase in a single acquisition as a free-breathing.

  • eDWI technique for high SNR diffusion images is applicable for oncology studies and treatment monitoring.

  • Whole Body Imaging using T1 fSPGR and T2 SSFSE with ARC acceleration without repositioning the patient or coils in 20 minutes.
