MRI

MRI is a powerful diagnostic tool for radiologists. The resulting images are very sensitive in showing the differences between normal and abnormal tissues. Plus, the procedure is painless and has no known side effects.

About MRI

MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is a powerful diagnostic imaging tool that produces images using two natural and harmless forces — magnetic fields and radio waves. There is no radiation used with an MRI. With the use of computers, the data acquired from your scan is transformed into 2D images of your body.

With MRI, your radiologist can see the bone and soft tissues in your body, like muscles and internal organs. These images are very sensitive in showing differences between normal and abnormal tissues.

MRI is painless and has no known side effects.

AIR™ Recon DL

Singing River Gulfport is the only facility in the state of Mississippi to offer this groundbreaking MRI technology.

“DL” stands for deep learning, meaning the software uses revolutionary, digital artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to improve both the patient experience and radiologists’ diagnostic confidence by providing shorter scan times and higher-quality images.

Patients can expect their exam times to be reduced up to 50%, often eliminating the need for sedation for those who are claustrophobic.
